Industry Outlook

The Indian mattress market has evolved significantly from a fragmented, traditional sector dominated by cotton and coir mattresses to a dynamic, innovation-driven industry with diverse product offerings. During the 1960s and 1970s, the industry was largely unbranded with small scale manufacturers producing cotton and coir mattresses. These products were affordable and durable but offered limited comfort and lacked standardisation.

The Indian mattress market has exhibited continuous growth over the years. It has grown at a CAGR of ~6.2% from ₹270 billion in FY2020 to ₹364 billion in FY2025 and is further expected to grow at a CAGR of ~7.7% till FY2030 to reach a market value of ₹527 billion.

Also, the Indian modern mattress market has grown at a CAGR of approximately 8.6%, increasing from ₹108 billion in FY2020 to ₹163 billion in FY2025. Going ahead, the market is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 10.7% to reach ₹271 billion by FY2030.

The reason for the high growth rate of modern mattresses can be attributed to increasing population, rising urbanisation, increase in disposable income of people, increase in health-related issues of the Indian population, rising demand of such mattresses among consumers because of its various health benefits such as better comfort, temperature regulations etc.
