Even whilst a majority of sectors were affected by COVID-19, the gifting industry expediently continued to climb the growth charts on the back of health, wellness and other value-driven products. Gearing up for its 2022 edition, Messe Frankfurt India’s collocated consumer goods shows will showcase some of the most innovative trends in the Indian market.
There has been momentous growth in corporate gifting industry in the recent years with businesses realising its tremendous value and impact in nurturing B2E and B2C relations. Honing a strong gifting culture, the Indian gifting market is pegged at INR 2,50,000 crores out of which INR 12,000 crores is owned by the corporate gifting segment, and continues to grow at the rate of 200% per annum*. The ticket size of gifting has gone up as well.
Contemporary and evolving trends in gifting
Ever since the pandemic outbreak, health and wellness products have seen unsurmountable demand and the gifting industry has adapted to it quite well. As personal well-being continues to remain utmost priority in the current scheme of things, the corporate gifting segment will be led by consistent market trends.
Customised gifts with personalised packaging are highly popular these days as they can greatly elevate the perceived value of any gift. For businesses, personalised gifting has proven to be a highly effective tool in captivating interest and making more meaningful connections.
Alongside personalisation, the most important factor in gifting is the value delivery or “usefulness” of the gift. Value-driven gifting has become a global trend over time, inculcating unique attributes that provide a strong value to the receiver. Innovative, sustainable gifting and ‘Make in India’ products are great examples of value-driven gifting which can be an effective medium in attracting attention towards one’s brand.
Going forward, the focus of corporate gifting strategy for companies should be to deliver a unique and personal impression rather than just material delivery, as this will effectively allow them to stand out from the rest.
