Over the past few years, the kitchen market in India has witnessed an inclination towards modern design and comfort. In fact, India’s modular kitchen market is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 27 per cent during 2019-2024 to reach $862 million by 2024.

Evidently, kitchens are gaining recognition in the home improvement category to augment both functionality and decor. Consumers are showing an inclination to experiment with design, texture and colour combinations, and are progressively looking at premium designs and features such as magic corners and kitchen island concepts to add a touch of luxury to the cooking space. To delve further into the subject and learn what consumers are looking for, CW hosted an insightful webinar on Modular Kitchens on June 16. The webinar was supported by Häfele.
