Growth Outlook
Stable-to-growing โ India's real-estate boom (tier-1 and tier-2 cities), rising aspirational spending on modular kitchens and wardrobe fitouts, and Urban Company's formalization of the home-services market all sustain demand. Brand-certified modular installers face near-zero unemployment; GCC Gulf demand for Indian carpenters is structurally high. CNC routing and prefab panel systems are automating rough-cut work but skilled fitting, bespoke joinery, and client-facing installation remain human-dependent.
