Today, India possesses the world's biggest bamboo acreage and second-largest bamboo reserve. The Planning Commission estimates the domestic bamboo economy to be worth approximately 2000 crores. This paper aims at the products constructed utilizing bamboo, its environmental impact, exports businesses including its demand. Bamboos are used in many sectors such as building constructions, roof construction, handicrafts, making ornaments, furniture, environmental benefits, medical uses, etc. Policies and regulations by the government are also discussed in this paper regarding bamboo production. The use of bamboo as an ecologically friendly building material that can be applied more rapidly and has added value in terms of cost and environmental sustainability is an area that should be researched further. Although there has been much research performed in this field, but there is a great potential for more research and construction of new marketing strategies in the future.
