The city's growth as the Information Technology hub of the country, contributed directly to the growth of the wood working Industry. The demand for quality processed furniture is driven by the demand for work stations, & office furniture by the IT industry.
As the IT industry grew, the disposable income levels grew contributing to increase in demand for housing, thereby creating a market for Joinery, Residential Furniture & Kitchen furniture.
Bangalore therefore has been the catalyst in this unprecedented boom in the Indian woodworking industry & will continue to be. |
