This material has got various kinds of users like stores, offices and residential buyers.

Indian designing market yet has not been able to turn fully green which is a trouble for the company. Agreeing this Prashant Maheswari, Director, Ventura International Pvt. Ltd. shares, "Indian customers aren't too much into green or organic products. Primarily, they look for the cost besides eco-friendliness and new look of the material. Also it is difficult to sell the product though we are trying to explain them about the advantages of the materials. In India people experimenting with new products is not too much.”

While summing up, Prashant gives a message to the renowned brands and says, "The designers want to offer something different through the first look of the interiors and the material comes secondary for them but for big brands, they have to value their displays accordingly. They can't have a cheap display and position their brand on the top level. Therefore the brands have to ensure that the contractor or fabricators use the specified materials. Also they should try different products on time-time basis. Even with new offers, they can ensure the regular customer footfall.
