§1What this business is
The racket body is injection-moulded from ABS plastic, the metal mesh is made and cut, and a circuit board with a rechargeable battery is fitted so the mesh carries about 300–400 volts and kills mosquitoes on contact. Each racket is tested and packed. Sold through electrical and general stores and online.
Capacity: 700 rackets a day, 10-hour shift; the report starts at 40% capacity in year 1.
§2Is it right for you?
Who it is for
Someone with electronics or plastic-moulding experience and a dealer network.
Who it is not for
Someone who cannot match the price of imported rackets.
Advantages
- Popular household product
- Moulding and mesh making done in-house
- No chemicals involved
- Sells all year, more in summer and monsoon
Drawbacks
- Fierce competition from cheap imported rackets
- The report notes frequent charging and low kill rate hold demand back
- Needs electronics know-how for quality
- Batteries and circuits fail and cause returns
Skills you need

Why difficulty 4/5: Moulding plus electronics, against cheap imports — needs skill and sharp pricing.
