Home Technology Project Profiles Agriculture & Food Processing Incense Sticks
Market Potential
India has a leadership position in agarbatti production and fulfils more than half of the world's incense sticks requirements. India exports Agarbatti to nearly 90 countries. Export earnings have crossed Rs. 400 crore mark while the domestic market is expected to be nearly 2000 crore. Every year more than 1000 billion sticks are produced and the market is growing at a rate of 7% per year. Further value addition occurs when incense paste is hand-rolled on to the sticks to make raw incense sticks, which are later perfumed to obtain finished incense sticks. The incense stick market faces a sudden upsurge in demand during the festive season. Demand from both domestic and international sectors peaks up during festivals like Dussehra and Diwali. The market for incense sticks is very vast and the demand for these incense sticks is high even in the far-flung rural areas. The incense industry is driven by factors other than commerce like tradition, superstition and religion.
