The Demand for Handmade handicrafts is increasing day by day throughout the World. A recent study on this represents that the demand is expanding 1.5 times every year in the last few years ( if we do not calculate the pandemic period). This is possible because of the fortune of the E-commerce platform. E-commerce played a vital role in generating this huge Demand. If we talk about our India, Exporting data of Handmade Handicrafts items is very satisfying. In Our Country more than 67000 establishments for Handmade Handicrafts throughout all the states.

Govt. also helps the exporter of Handicrafts by taking a few crucial changes in the GST Law. Now Exporting is treated as Zero-rated Supply as per the New GST law. These changes definitely influenced many to Export Indian Handicrafts items to various countries. As per the government data sheet Country like USA, Uk, Germany, and France are the major Importing Country From India. This is one of the reason for increasing demand. But the major role played behind the scene by E-Commerce platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, Messho Etc.

Online marketplace gives a major boost to our Handicrafts establishment. Before the online era, Production is there but No adequate buyers were there to buy the Products. Artisan could sell their products only at some village fairs or at nearby tourist places. That’s all, No other marketplace for them to showcase their talent & Skill. So, at that time many renowned Artists were bound to leave their family traditions & took new professions in nearby cities.

The scenario is changing now. The fame of Indian Handmade Handicrafts items again took place its position through the major E-commerce platform Amazon & Flipkart. Indiamart also has a Vital role here in generating demands through their B2B Marketplace. Daily Lots of New sellers launched on Amazon, Flipkart, Messho & other E-commerce platforms. Now Handmade Products are not confined to their origin! Now Products of Saharanpur easily move to New Delhi within 5-7 days to the Buyers Doorstep. Handicrafts of Jaipur ( meenakari ) are also delivered at Westbengal within 24 hours. This all happened due to the Online marketplace.

So, In the near future, this sector will flourish more than we expected. Besides major E-commerce, there are several private websites also doing the same job.
