The brand sells appliances in more than 45 countries world over and is a name to reckon with. White-Westinghouse enjoys an exceptionally high equity for its well-engineered and reliable products. Timing its entry well;

India's appliance and consumer electronics (ACE) market is pegged to reach INR 1.48 lakh crore (US$ 21.18 billion) by 2025 according to IBEF's ( India Brand Equity Foundation) recently released report : June'2020, https://www.ibef.org/industry/consumer-durables-presentation  White -Westinghouse is looking to tap the upsurge that has been caused in the country due to changing lifestyle and consumption habits. India's white goods sector is under-penetrated and is on verge of a cyclical shift. Especially the rural market which is witnessing a reverse migration and therefore shift in the economy too. Analysts believe sales of consumer durables in small-towns and villages, as compared to urban markets, will see a larger potential in months to come.
