Deona Mandi was historically known for its handloom weavers who produced a type of cloth called Khais.[3] This traditional craft, once a significant aspect of the town's identity and highly regarded by Punjabis globally, has largely disappeared.[3] Consequently, Deona Mandi has undergone a transformation.[3] The town, which previously thrived on its weaving industry, has predominantly become a grain market now.[3] 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.[3]
