MATCH INDUSTRIES IN INDIA
Wooden match production in India is split into three categories. The mechanized small sector, the handmade small sector and the cottage sector. 82% of the total match production is in the handmade small scale sector (67%) and cottage (15%) sector where the technology has remained simple. These two non-mechanized sectors of the match industry are distinguished primarily by the output size.
Officially the cottage industry in match making is defined as any manual production unit producing less than 75000 cases of match boxes per year.
The industry as a whole directly employs an estimated 250000 people with only 6000 are in the mechanized sector. The cottage sector which involved totally manual productions and producers less than 75 million match sticks per year and is often household based accounts for about 50000 workers. Thus small scale factory based match production units employ the largest number of people (1950000) in the match sector.
The industry of the Indian matches is gaining importance in the recent years. The mechanization came in to Indian match industry in 1924 when M/s. Wimco ltd. Started operation in the same year as a unit of multinational Swedish company.
