Sivakasi products will now reach the international firecrackers market dominated by China
Mumbai: The country's Rs 6,000 crore Sivakasi firecracker industry is now preparing to expand its products to the international market. In the international market, which has been dominated by China so far, companies based in Sivakasi, India are also planning to enter it. Most of the manufacturers based in Sivakasi are now making crackers that are environmentally friendly.
With a huge foothold in the global firecrackers market, China has an annual turnover of Rs 26,000 crores, of which the Sivakasi industries are preparing to grab a small share.
Pollution testing of crackers manufactured at Sivakasi is now possible at Sivakasi itself.
Earlier, manufacturers in Sivakasi had to send the products to a Nagpur-based lab for testing, said an official of the Tamil Nadu Fireworks and Amorous Manufacturing Association.
After the last two years, the country's firecracker industry has performed well in the current year.
He also said that since Sivakasi manufacturers are shifting towards green crackers, there is an attraction for crackers from here in the global market.
He claimed that the markets of America and Europe, which were earlier looking towards China, are now looking towards India, especially Sivakasi.
