PUNE: CRISIL Research's recent insight (August 2012) said that rural spending outpaced urban spending between 2009-10 and 2011-12 - for the first time in nearly 25 years.
Through the follow-up insight, the study explores the inter-state differences in the two most critical factors, influencing rural demand for consumer durables. These are discretionary (non-food) household spending and access to infrastructure (electricity and road connectivity). While the study uses state-level consumption expenditure data available up to 2009-10, similar trends are expected to have persisted in subsequent years too as rural wages have continued to rise at a fast pace.
Discretionary spending of a typical rural Indian household rose to Rs 24,000 in 2009-10, from Rs 14,000 in 2004-05 , growing at about 11 per cent per year - faster than the inflation rate of nearly 6 per cent per year over the same period.
Kerala and Punjab bagged the top spots, in terms of the highest discretionary rural household spending, witnessing higher growth over an already high base seen in 2004-05. However, certain other states that were relatively less well-off in 2004-05, also witnessed a surge in discretionary spending.
Among the less well-off states, discretionary rural household spending per year grew at a higher rate than all-India average in Maharashtra and Bihar (12.1 per cent), Gujarat (12.2 per cent) and Madhya Pradesh (11.4 percent). In contrast, discretionary rural household spending grew at the lowest rates in Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal and Karnataka.
The study further said that consumer durables have become more affordable to rural households in recent years, due to rising discretionary spending and relatively low levels of price rise in durables. As a result, at least one in every two rural households owned a bicycle, an electric fan and/or a mobile phone in 2009-10. Despite rising affordability, the pattern of penetration of consumer durables varies distinctly in rural India - even between states where household discretionary spending is at similar levels. This indicates that even though higher income is a necessary factor, it is not the sole factor, influencing consumers' decisions to purchase durables.
