Factors Effecting SSI Export
Technological Constraints The technology used by IndianSSI units are not the latest ones. Thereby the products of
SSI do not compare well in international markets. There has not been much focus on research &
development on high technology as regards production insmall scale units.
Majority of small scale units produce for domestic market& do not want to invest on higher technology. Efforts bythe govt. have also been lacking in this regard.
Size Content The small size of production units limittheir production primarily for domestic use only.
Small scale units operating on small scale do not want toventure into big investment options & take the risk ofuncertainty & remain content with consumption indomestic market where they are assured of demand.

Inability to take on Promotional Activities Due to lackof resources required for competing in world marketwith multinational, many small scale units prefer to
sell their products to trading agencies rather thanexplore their worth in international markets.
Moreover, it is difficult for a small entrepreneur to setup his own marketing & distribution channels in
foreign land where big players have establishedthemselves well.
This issue has been appreciated by the govt. &measures are being instituted to support exportactivities by small scale entrepreneurs.
