The Ministry of Food Processing, Government of
India has defined the following segments within the
Food Processing industry:
Dairy, fruits and vegetable processing
Grain processing
Meat and poultry processing
Fisheries
Consumer foods including packaged foods,
The Indian food processing at $135 billion and is estimated to
grow at a CAGR of 10% to reach $200 billion by 2015
The industry has huge growth potential: Of the country total food
and agricultural produce only 2% is processed
The Industry contributed to 7% of the country’s GDP and it
employees 13 million people directly
Value addition of food products is expected to grow from 8% to
35% by the end of 2025
The fruit and vegetable processing which is at a 2% growth rate
is expected to reach 25% growth rate by 2025
The highest growth is in the dairy processing sector where 37% of
Processed foods are primarily derived from agricultural commodities,
which often incur multiple taxes at various stages. This multiple taxation has a cascading effect on prices and a barrier to the free flow of
materials from the farm to the factory and ultimately to the consumers
Diet food and nutraceuticals are the latest fad are available for every
patient today, be it hypertension, diabetes, obesity, or even weight reduction
Motivated by a desire for maximum indulgence coupled with a wish for
calorie control and health benefits, consumers are increasingly choosing sugar-free and sugar-reduced products
Packaging of food products has become important in order to ensure
safety and hygiene and to eliminate the possibility of adulteration.
However, packaging industry is yet to achieve international standards in the country
India is one of the largest countries in the world, with a growing
population of 1.2 billion people
India’s GDP was US$1,843 billion in 2011 and is forecast to rise to
US$2,013 billion in 2012
GDP is expected to continue growing at rates around 7–8 percent
per annum for the next few years
There has been a discernible increase in purchasing power in many
parts of the country and rising affluence in many urban pockets
However, income distribution in India remains uneven between a
Almost a quarter of the population is living on less than US$1 per
day, even though GDP per capita is US$3,787
The income split essentially means that India has two separate
consumer segments, which are further split by strong regional differences
India is one of the world’s largest food producers and has a large
agriculture industry and combined with a cultural preference for fresh food, means that India supplies the majority of its own food for consumption
India is a growing market for processed food imports, which are
becoming more popular with the younger population, especially in urban areas
Consumption of food and beverages was estimated at US$366.8
Primary food processing (packaged fruit and vegetables, milk,
milled flour and rice, tea, spices, etc.) constitutes around 60% of processed foods
It has a highly fragmented structure that includes thousands of
rice-mills and hullers, flour rice-mills, pulse rice-mills and oil-seed rice-mills, several thousands of bakeries, traditional food units and fruits, vegetable and spice processing units in the unorganized sector
In comparison, the organized sector is relatively small, with around
516 flour mills, 568 fish processing units, 5’293 fruit and vegetable processing units, 171 meat processing units and numerous dairy processing units at state and district levels

The overall packaged food industry reached US$25.4 billion in 2011
and is forecast to grow to US$38.5 billion by 2016
The highest value segments of packaged foods in 2011 were to be
‘dairy’ (at US$9.1 billion), followed by ‘bakery’ (at US$4.9 billion), and ‘oils and fats’ (at US$4.1 billion)
The West India region has the highest value sales of packaged foods
in India
A large number of brands from domestic and multinational players
are present in the region and many international brands are imported
Consumer awareness of packaged foods is also high in North India,
which is one the most affluent regions in the country with areas such as New Delhi, NCR, Chandigarh, Jaipur and Lucknow
This has resulted in packaged foods seeing good growth in the
region and this trend is expected to continue
East and Northeast India are the smallest markets in India for
packaged food, due to the underdeveloped nature of these areas and continued political instability

Canned/preserved soup, which is more popular than dehydrated
soup worldwide, is expected to show a decline in value sales
Manufacturers are launching soups in varieties of exotic flavors to
appeal to consumers’ taste buds
Potential threats include competition from other snack offerings,
such as biscuits, snack bars and cereals, which are expected to compete with soup on the convenience and health front
Another potential threat for this category is the lack of awareness
about such products in rural areas
Both Indian companies and international players are expected to
make attempts to launch new products in ready meals which target demand for local flavours and traditional dishes
Demographical Changes
› India has a large young population; with a median age of 25.5 as of 2012 › They have sufficient disposable income, are individualistic and want to
stand out in whatever they do.
› As a resulting they are driving demand for & rapidly embracing new brands
› Children are aware & have become more vocal in making their preferences known to parents
› An increasing number of young adults have moved to cities for work or study & also make daily decisions regarding what food products to buy
Socio Economic Drivers: Increased Income /
Affordability
› The Indian middle class is increasing in size and purchasing power and will definitely spend more on this category of consumer expendables
Expansion in the Food Services Sector
› The proliferation of foodservice outlets and consumer’s interest in dining out will present growth opportunities for packaged food manufacturers in coming years
› The consumers palate is also expanding and they are increasingly experimenting and trying out varied cuisines and flavors
› This has generated interest in packaged food products with international flavors
› Products that will benefit from these trends include cheese, sauces and dressings, frozen processed food, noodles, pasta, oil and fats
› Olive oil is also expected to perform well as consumers become more familiar with its use in preparation of Western dishes, as well as its health benefits
› Similarly, noodles and soup will also gain greater acceptance among consumers
Focus on Health Benefits
› In larger cities consumers are switching to healthier options of packaged food, such as whole meal bread and low-sugar sweets
› Healthy products positioned for the mass segment are expected to perform more strongly than products targeting the niche high-income segment
› With increases in disposable incomes consumers may be more willing to pay for healthier products which are often priced higher than similar products without health positioning
› Manufacturers continue to push health-oriented products, as they
recognize there is huge potential for health and wellness to develop in India
› Manufacturers may also look at new fortified products aimed at rural consumers looking for basic nutritional needs such as iron, calcium, protein, etc.
Urbanization & Shifting Lifestyles
› The increase in urbanisation has led to a demand for premium products in this segment
› Shifting lifestyles of Indian people & the ongoing increase in the size of India’s middle-class population is also driving demand
› Due to the paucity of time, consumers are looking at options where the meal can be prepared fast and is tasty as well
› Coupled with these, factors like an increasing number of working couples and shortage of household help is also driving the sales
› Consumers’ dietary mix is changing with increased focus on international food and reduced consumption of traditional food
Marketing Efforts
› Leading multinational manufacturers have started using social media to engage young consumers
› Examples of such products include sweet and savory snacks, sugar confectionery, ice cream and snack bars etc.
› The increased reach of media channels such as television and Internet in both urban and rural India is likely to help the growth of consumer goods’ value sales over the forecast period
› Marketing efforts for brands such as Quaker and Kellogg’s heightened awareness for the entire cereals category, while increased instances of breakfast buffets at restaurants led to growth in demand for hot cereals as well.
Another factor which has led to robust growth is the
increasing prices of fresh food & vegetables, like onion, garlic
and ginger
Indian consumers, particularly the younger
population, are becoming more accepting of
different food and drink products
There is increased demand for product variety, as
well as products from different countries
The number of imported food products is
increasing in retail stores. This trend is evident not
only in organised retail, but also in the small
family-owned stores which dominate themarket.
Glocalisation is the localisation of globalised products or
services and has caused international food products to be
adapted to suit Indian consumers
For example, McDonald’s in India provide vegetarian rather
than beef burgers and pizza chains serve pizzas with Indian
toppings such as curry
This has resulted in greater acceptance and increased
demand for international food and beverage products in
India
With busier lifestyles, Indian consumers are moving
away from the traditional three meals per day
schedule
Smaller and more frequent meals are becoming
common, resulting in higher demand for
convenient products and snacks.
As more women join the work force and
households become smaller, packaged and
processed products such as ready to eat meals,
canned foods and snacks will be in higher
demand.
The most popular ready to eat products are those
Demand for specialty and high value
foods such as chocolates, almonds and
other dried nuts, cakes and pastries,
imported fruits, fruit juices, and Indian
sweets peaks during the festive season,
especially at Deepawli (Diwali) - the
Changes in Retail Format
› Growth in modern chained grocery retailing
› Supermarkets/hypermarkets have emerged as a key retail channel for packaged food, as their share in overall retail sales increased by three percentage points
› The expansion of chained grocery stores and increase in product offerings, such as more imported brands on retailers’ shelves has contributed to the growth
› There are also a growing number of specialist retailers in urban areas, especially in shopping centers, which attract high-end consumers
› Their specialization with cold chains and associated product categories makes these outlets a favorite among manufacturers looking to cater to select urban consumers
Other factors expected to positively influence growth of dried
processed food include the lower levels of regulation
expected in dried processed food and the increasing
cultivation of rice
Efficient Back End infrastructure
› The growth of cold chain infrastructure is likely to heighten the use of frozen processed food, chilled processed food and non-traditional dairy products in India
› International manufacturers and domestic manufacturers with strong financial backing are expected to begin providing freezer display cabinets to Indian grocery retailers in the near future in order to encourage them to stock their goods
FDI in retail
› With government allowing 51% FDI in multi brand retail and 100% FDI in single brand retail, International giants such as Wal-Mart & Carrefour are coming in
› With the arrival of these giants, there is immense scope of growth for new segments in packaged food
› This also signals the arrival of more international giants and increased versatility of products
Development of effective distribution network
and supply chain:
›
India with its high rural population mandates the
companies to have an extensive distribution network
›
The market share is linked to distribution and product
availability in a major way
Various range of product offerings, which is
customized to meet local market requirements
›
India with its high diversity requires companies to
customise their products to suit the local tastes
Superior processing technology to compete with other
players in the market
› The players in the market need to possess the latest technology in order to compete and face the price sensitive audience
Brand building and marketing to gain market share;
increasing penetration in domestic market; competitive
pricing
› With a mixed set of organised and unorganised players in the market, there is a strong need for brand building and marketing to generate the required reach
› The market is majorly price sensitive further adding to the requirement of competitive pricing
› There is a constant effort to penetrate into the remotest of the areas to increase the presence

India continued to experience inflation in 2011
In particular, food and oil prices surged in the first half of the year,
although the pace of inflation slowed down in the later months
Many packaged food manufacturers reported that rising input costs
put pressure on profit margins, and they either had to raise prices or manage costs more closely
Players in the mass segment also launched low-price variants of
premium products to fatten profit margins
Inflation also reduced consumer spending power. In particular,
consumers in the low-income segment were forced to reduce spending on non-essential items.
In response, many manufacturers launched products in small
packets at lower prices
For products where profit margins are thin, for example plain biscuits
and staples, dominant manufacturers were able to increase unit prices by applying direct price hikes or reducing pack sizes.
Nestlé India raised prices of dairy products, and changed its
product mix to reduce focus on low-margin products in 2011
Hindustan Unilever Ltd reported that it managed cost pressure
through aggressive saving programmes and price increases
It also launched Cup-a-Soup in February 2012. Through the new
launch the company planned to increase volume sales through smaller packaging sizes.
Manufacturers targeting the mass segment launched
low-price variants of premium products
In January 2012 Parle Products Pvt. Ltd launched Happy
Happy chocolate chip cookie, which was priced 60%
cheaper than Parle Hide N Seek – the relatively premium
offering from the company
Where an 82.5g packet of Parle Hide N Seek commanded a
price of Rs 20.00, Happy Happy sells at Rs5.00 for a 45g pack
Hindustan Unilever Ltd’s Cup-a-Soup is also a cheaper soup
variant of its Knorr soup products
› The premium range of Knorr soup is priced around Rs35.00, while Cup-a-Soup is Rs12.00
Some manufacturers were reluctant to increase
price too much for fear of losing customers to
competitors
These manufacturers looked into more stringent
cost controls
Examples included ITC Ltd’s efforts to improve
production efficiency and Hindustan Unilever Ltd’s
efforts to reduce packaging costs.
High inflation has dampened India’s economic growth in
recent times
However, in January 2012 the annual inflation rate slowed to
a 2-year low of 6.6%
Easing inflation is expected to lower interest rates, increase
consumer expenditure and decrease input costs for
manufacturers
While the pace of inflation for input costs is expected to slow
down in 2012, commodity prices are likely to remain volatile
due to shortages of raw materials around the world, and an
unstable political situation in the Middle East
Prices of certain food, such as milk and edible oils, remain a
potential problem area for inflation
Uncertainties in the global economy are limiting the outlook for
export
Packaged food value sales in North India are projected to see a
constant value CAGR of close to 9% over the forecast period, marginally slower than the national average
The key growth driver will be growing demand for higher quality
products (for example richer chocolate, premium offerings, healthier products) and the switch from the unorganized segment to the
organized segment due to increases in consumers’ disposable incomes.
In response to volatility in commodity prices, manufacturers will
continue to watch costs closely
Given the forecast slowdown in the economy, consumer
sentiment may weaken, and manufacturers will be unwilling to raise prices
Leading manufacturers may live with narrow margins and drive
volume sales instead, or they may reduce pack size while maintaining same price points
Private label products are not expected to see dynamic growth
over the forecast period
› This is because margins are very narrow and retailers will not be able to price private label products much lower than leading
Due to urban consumers’ desire for a higher quality of living,
premium offerings in packaged food are less likely to be
affected by changes in the economic situation
Hence, manufacturers whose portfolio includes established
brands and premium products are expected to perform well
over the forecast period
Small manufacturers will see reductions in value share, as they
have less scale to cushion the impact of high input costs and
softening consumer demand
