India is the world's largest producer of natural coir and a major natural rubber producer. Combine that with skilled craftsmanship, advanced digital printing and competitive manufacturing — and the answer becomes clear.
India's Advantage
When global buyers look for a reliable, cost-effective and innovative source for decorative door mats, coir mats and entrance matting solutions — India consistently stands apart. Here is why.
For Retailers, Distributors & Importers
India is the world's largest producer of natural coir, accounting for over 70% of global coir and coir product output. India and Sri Lanka together account for about 90% of total global coir fibre production — making raw material supply reliable, consistent and cost-effective.
India is among the world's top natural rubber and latex producers, ranked 6th globally with annual production of approximately 876,000 tonnes. Kerala — the heartland of India's coir industry — is also the centre of India's rubber plantation belt, ensuring natural latex for mat backing is readily available close to manufacturing.
India offers highly competitive manufacturing costs without compromising on quality. Access to locally sourced raw materials — natural coir, latex and rubber — combined with a skilled and cost-effective workforce means buyers get excellent value for money compared to European or East Asian manufacturers.
India has embraced the latest digital printing technology for decorative door mats — enabling intricate multi-colour designs, photographic-quality prints and custom artwork to be reproduced with precision on felt, coir and rubber stud mat bases. Explore our decorative collections to see the quality firsthand. This is an area where traditional mat-making countries still lag behind.
Indian manufacturers are experienced in working with international buyers on OEM and private label programs. From customer-supplied artwork to exclusive collection development, market-specific product solutions and retail-ready packaging — Indian suppliers offer end-to-end manufacturing flexibility.
India's coir industry has centuries of history, with Kerala being the birthplace of commercial coir manufacturing — dating back to the first coir factory established in Alappuzha in 1859. This deep-rooted expertise in coir processing, mat weaving and finishing translates into consistently high quality for export buyers. See the real product photos in our gallery.
India exports coir and coir products to over 121 countries worldwide, with established export infrastructure, experienced freight forwarding networks and a robust banking and documentation system for international trade. Major ports in Kerala and nearby states handle regular container exports to Europe, the Middle East and North America.
The Coir Capital of the World
Kerala is not just the home of India's coir industry — it is the global epicentre of natural coir production and craftsmanship. Backed by an ideal tropical climate, abundant coconut plantations and centuries of tradition, Kerala produces approximately 85% of India's entire coir output.
It is also where India's natural rubber industry is centred — meaning both key raw materials for door mat manufacturing (coir and latex) are available locally within the same state. This proximity dramatically reduces raw material costs and lead times.
PAM Innovations is based in Kerala — giving us direct access to the best raw materials, skilled artisans and the most experienced export networks in the industry. This enables us to source high-quality raw materials efficiently while maintaining consistent quality and competitive lead times for international buyers.
