Sustained by high agricultural output, international demand and a strong domestic market, the Indian food industry offers ample scope for large investments in processing technologies, skills and equipment, packaging, refrigeration of frozen food and thermo processing.
Currently, six per cent of the country`s fruit and vegetable produce is processed and India`s share of the global market stands close to 0.03 per cent. While the size of the global processed-food market is estimated at US$ 3.2 trillion and nearly 80 per cent of agricultural products in the developed countries get processed and packaged (as suggested by `India Food Report 2008`, released at the Food Forum India, in Mumbai), there is huge scope for export-led growth in the sector.
Recognising this, the country aims at, in the next few years, raising the share of processed food to 20 per cent in comparison to total agri-produce, on the one hand, and enhancing export of these items to three per cent on the other.
The domestic food market, according to the `India Food Report 2008` is estimated at over US$
182 billion accounting for about 2/3rd of the total Indian retail market....
The Indian food market is poised to grow two- fold by 2025. The size of the Indian food consumption market is expected to grow from US$ 155 billion in 2005 to US$ 344 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate of 4.1 per cent. The steady growth of the Indian economy and the improving lifestyle of Indians have been istrumental in this growth. The growth of the food industry in India stems from the consistently increasing agricultural
output. With the second largest arable-land area in the world, India is one of the key food producing countries in the world, second only to China.
• Currently, India ranks second in fruit production and third in vegetable production in the world.
• In 2007-08, foodgrain production in India had registered a 4.6 per cent growth with 227.32 million tonnes as against 217.28 million tonnes in 2006-07, according to estimates by the agriculture ministry.
• The output of coarse cereals in 2007-08 was 39.67 million tonnes, 17 per cent higher than the 33.92 million tonnes in the previous fiscal.
• The total output of oilseeds is estimated to have risen to a record 28.2 million tonnes, about 16 per cent higher than the 24.29 million tonnes in 2006-07.
• The production of pulses has risen to 15.19 million tonnes, registering a year-on-year growth of 7 per cent, and touching a new high. ...
The food processing sector in India has a market size of $70 billion, employs 13 million persons directly and two-and-a half times that number indirectly. The Indian food processing market is one of the largest in terms of production, consumption, and export and import prospects.
The branded packaged food industry is expected to grow at the rate of 9-12% per annum depending on the segments, including snacks food, ready-to-eat food, healthy and functional food. The total domestic food business is estimated at about Rs 5 lakh crore annually. Of which, the branded packaged food industry is estimated to be about 7.5% or Rs 37,500 crore. The
growing awareness among consumers is propelling a consistent increase in the size of the branded food segment. The branded packaged food business is expected to grow at the rate of 9% to12% annually.
The growth in the economy, coupled with a strong desire among consumers to maintain a healthy lifestyle and the growing awareness of functional ingredients such as herbs, minerals, vitamins, omega fatty acids and probiotics is driving the functional foods and beverages market.
The food ingredients market is also increasing with a rapid growth rate, as consumers increasingly demand bigger, bolder tastes, foods that are healthy, and ingredients that are natural or sustainable. Consumers are becoming more sophisticated and want more upscale flavors and ingredients. The food ingredient business is expected to grow by 40% in the next year....
