surya funcity ltd Management discussions

The main business of the company is running of Amusement Park, Water Park, and Resorts.

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

The Indian Amusement & Theme Park industry has been growing at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 17.5% with annual revenue of approx. Rs. 17 billion and estimated to grow to at least Rs. 40 billion by 2023. Amusement Parks i n India attract over 30 million (3 crore) visitors annually. Children & Youth visit the park either in school groups or with families and constitutes 25% of park visitors. Adults constitute the remaining 75% as they either visit with their families or in corporate groups.

EMERGING TREND AND FUTURE OUTLOOK

India is expected to be the 3rd largest economy by 2050. Studies indicate a near tripling of household disposable income and burgeoning middle class which will comprise over 40% of Indias population. Park operators and investors from both within India and abroad have recognized the opportunities presented by the rapidly growing and consuming Indian middle class. Although many small and medium parks are coming up in India, the investors are still hesitant to invest in large theme park primarily due to high capital cost associated with such project, non availability/high cost of land and low per capita consumer spends at parks in India compared to other developed countries. Increasing collaboration with global players is expected to provide huge boost to the growth of this sector.

During the last decade domestic tourism had grown @ 14% on an average and currently it is estimated at 550 million. Relative to this, the amusement park industry generated only 19 million footfall during last year. Globally, domestic and international tourists comprise more than 50% of the total footfall at popular amusement parks. We can, therefore, expect that there would be manifold increase in footfall in amusement parks in India.
