(I-Newswire) March 11, 2010 - DELHI, March 11, 2010 - The non-profit Kearny Alliance (http://www.kearnyalliance.org) has released the India Sourcing Report: Craft & Promotional Gifts (http://www.chinasourcingreports.com/csr/india-craft-promotional-gifts) to assist volume buyers to source from qualified suppliers in India. The report is published with the support of Global Sources (NASDAQ: GSOL - http://www.globalsources.com).

These include figurines, votive and candle holders, wall hangings, desktop decorations, dried flowers, clock frames, mirror sconces, frames, keychains, tumblers, wall calendars, and desktop organizers.
“Quality buyers searching for handcrafted products have recognized that India-made promotional gifts are truly unique,” said Alexander Boome, program director of The Kearny Alliance.
“Makers have several competitive advantages, including designs which feature a fusion of traditional and contemporary design elements, a large pool of skilled labor and an abundant supply of indigenous materials.”
Suppliers surveyed expect export growth, plan to hold or reduce quotes
Suppliers noted the main export markets are the United States and Europe, which account for 33 and 44 percent of total shipments, respectively. “Most surveyed suppliers anticipate export growth of at least 10 percent in 2010. They will continue to focus mainly on the EU and the U.S.,” Boome said.
Surveyed suppliers for the Craft & Promotional Gifts Report shows:
* 88 percent expect shipments to grow by 10 percent in the next 12 months;
* 33 percent will maintain export prices; and,
* 42 percent will raise quotes by 5 percent.
Monthly capacity of featured suppliers is 1.4 million pieces. Total export sales in 2009 were $56.5 million.
More new sources for international buyers, more export orders and jobs in India
“The objective of this sourcing report is to help create jobs for small and medium export manufacturers in India,” Boome said.
“This is to advance The Kearny Alliance’s mission of Aid through Trade. Global Sources – as part of its corporate social responsibility – gives featured suppliers websites on Global Sources Online to help them reach its quality buyer community of 888,000.”
One supplier in the report, Deepak Jain, managing director of Global Glory India, said: “The free exposure in the report and B2B Global Sources website offered by the Kearny Alliance can really fulfill our marketing plans, especially in the recovery period of the economy when buyers are getting back with large, new orders.
“We are also thankful for the Kearny Alliance’s in-person training on how to effectively apply the online tool to get as many inquiries as possible and to respond to buyers more professionally.”
