Just Published: "India Food & Drink Report Q2 2016"

Over the long-term, India offers one of the most attractive consumer bases globally, benefitting from a large and young population, rapid urbanisation and rising incomes. This will drive consumption of processed food, as well as soft and alcoholic beverages. Nevertheless, severe operating and regulatory challenges remain, hampering industry dynamism and limiting investment in some sectors such as mass grocery retail.

Latest Updates & Industry Developments

Food sales will expand at a rapid pace throughout our forecast period to 2020, benefiting from population growth and rising incomes. The expansion of the middle class will enable consumers to diversify their diets and incorporate more discretionary foodstuff.

The drinks industry will also benefit from similar dynamics. With consumer preferences not as dynamic as in other Asian markets, carbonated soft drinks will continue to experience rapid growth, although the sector is at risk of the introduction of a tax on sugary drinks.

In our view, tapping the full potential of the retail sector will take more than a few years. Several obstacles remain to the formalisation of India's food retail sector, including traditional consumer preferences, a challenging operating environment limiting profitability and foreign investment restrictions holding back sector dynamism.
