As a variety of decorative products and demand for conceptual panel and surface products have increased, hence many more companies would like to go for franchise stores or display stores or display gallery model pan India.
So far we are seeing a surge in display category shoppies and galleries like Greenlam Shopee, Century Arena, Amulya Mica, Viva Shopee, Eurobond Shopee or even Advance Laminates Shopee etc.
So this year, as per our prediction, at least 200-300 more new display stores will open up in different parts of the country. As we know, Ply Reporter and Surfaces Reporter publication media have been continuously working towards creating more engaging and interactive spaces for which the awareness has increased and hence the need for display galleries is increasing day by day.
To consolidate the grip on the market share the companies are now opening up more display stores in various cities where key retail counters and dealers are joining hands with companies and opening up new stores which is helping them to grow the business. We have seen in the case of Royale Touche, Kajaria and Somani and many other enterprises. So this thing is going to take more shape for emerging brands in the wood panel and decorative sector.
