Water heaters in India are emerging as technologically upgraded and innovative products. Electric water heaters are currently the most popular among consumers. Although electric water heater market is moving towards maturity, continuous innovations on the part of manufacturers are driving growth in the market. In addition, solar water heaters are anticipated to gain prominence in India water heater market over the next five years. Growth in solar water heater market is being propelled by government efforts and demand among consumers for energy efficient and eco-friendly products. Gas water heater market in the country is still at a nascent stage, but is expected to pick pace on the back of government plans to extend piped gas network.

Major players in India water heaters market are Racold, Bajaj, Venus, V-Guard and AO Smith among others. The market is currently dominated by Racold followed by Bajaj and Venus.

"Water heater manufacturers in the country are facing stiff competition from unorganized sector and Chinese imports, which provide cheaper products. Indian consumers have limited awareness of technology and consider water heater an ordinary electrical appliance, giving not much importance to its specifications.

Over the next five years, changing consumer preference, along with energy efficiency and quality standards, is expected to increase opportunities for market players in the organized sector." said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director with TechSci Research, a research based global management consulting firm.
