Deona Mandi was historically known for its hand mill weavers who produced a type of textile called Khais. This traditional craft, once a significant aspect of the town's identity and highly regarded by Punjabis globally, has largely disappeared. Consequently, Deona Mandi has undergone a transformation. The town, which previously thrived on its weaving industry, has now become predominantly a grain market. In addition to this change, there has been a move towards manufacturing more contemporary products such as tarpaulins and shelters. These items are now produced to cater to various local needs, including public gatherings, weddings, and funerals.
