预计印度即食 (RTE) 食品市场在预测期内 (2025-2032 年) 的复合年增长率为 16.40%,从 2024 年的 11 亿美元增至 2032 年的 34.1 亿美元。旅行者数量的快速增加、年轻一代的不断壮大以及由于生活节奏加快而偏爱更方便食品的工作人口、印度零售连锁业的扩张以及製造商推出的新产品是推动印度即食食品市场增长潜力的关键因素。
随着食品选择的多样化和西方文化的广泛接触,即食食品也已成为印度千禧世代生活的一部分。此外,食品包装和冷链物流技术的进步也影响着印度即食食品的成长。
然而,肥胖症和糖尿病相关健康问题加剧等挑战可能会阻碍市场成长。即食食品脂肪含量高,因此不受注重健康的消费者的青睐。由于日程繁忙且缺乏在家做饭的资源,印度很大一部分劳动人口都留在核心家庭中,增加了对即食食品的需求。 2022 年第四季度,印度的就业率为总人口的 44.7%。

India Ready-To-Eat (RTE) Food Market will witness a CAGR of 16.40% during the forecast period FY2025-FY2032 reaching at USD 3.41 billion in FY2032 from USD 1.10 billion in FY2024. Rapid increase in travelling, increasing younger generation and working population preferring more convenience food owing to busier lifestyles, the enlargement of the Indian retail chain sector, and new product launches by various manufacturers are the key factors driving the growth potential of RTE food market in India.
Availability of diverse food options and higher exposure to western culture has made RTE food a part of millennial's life in India as well. Moreover, technological advancements in food packaging and cold chain logistics also influences the growth of RTE food in India Market.
However, challenges including the rise in obesity and diabetes-related health problems may prevent market growth. Ready-to-eat foods are not preferred by consumers who are concerned about their health because of their high fat content. Due to their hectic schedules and lack of resources to prepare meals at home, the working population of India is becoming demanding for ready-to-eat food as a large part of Indian working couples are staying as a nuclear family. Employment rate in India was recorded at 44.7% of the country's population in Q4 of 2022.
Working Couples, Parenting Millennials and Younger Population Living Apart from Families
Staying apart from families to reduce down on the travel time, and at times due to employment in cities other than native cities, large number of younger population and working couples is following it as a common practice in India which is eventually resulting in a higher consumption of packaged and RTE food. The processed food business is driven by a higher need for convenience because of customers' busy lifestyles. There has been a progressive move away from the conventional paradigm of daily cooking because of the rise in the number of workers in developing nations like India as well as the tendency towards longer and more unpredictable working hours. Furthermore, because it boosts consumer purchasing power, rising disposable income is another element that significantly affects the expansion of the food market.
Demand for Innovative Products
People today like experimenting with their cuisine and are willing to try different foods. Nonetheless, younger generations of consumers are becoming more concerned with food quality and are prepared to pay a little bit more if doing so means receiving the best quality without compromising their health. In light of all of this, Indian food producers are constantly attempting to create new cuisines, and the ready-to-eat food industry is rapidly growing. For instance, Goa-based Sairaj Dhond, a former lawyer who is now an entrepreneur, founded Wakao Foods in October 2020, which is making it simpler to adapt to a plant-based diet by utilising the superfood jackfruit that is currently gaining popularity. BigBasket entered the market with products like frozen pizza and frozen peas under its private label Fresho after spotting "need gaps" in the goods other businesses were offering.
Plant-Based and Healthy Products Trend in RTE Food
The ready-to-eat foods market in India is growing increasingly as individuals are becoming extremely busy and do not have so much time available to prepare long meals hours. Key trends in the food service market include healthier and plant-based products. Factors increasing demand for health and wellness lifestyles and the environmental impact of plant-based diets drive this rise. Consumers increasingly seek products that match their healthy lifestyles, which demand nutrient-rich, low-calorie, and additive-free products. In response, the market is flooded with a wide range of innovative plant-based products such as snacks, meals, and beverages catering to varied dietary needs. This trend will likely continue as part of broader trends toward sustainable and healthy eating habits. Companies are launching several plant-based ready to eat foods.
For instance, in March 2023, Wakao Foods, part of Dhond Group Green Infra LLP, introduced a vegan burger patty made from jackfruit, offering a nutritious and sustainable alternative to traditional meat. This plant-based patty is cholesterol-free, packed with protein, and requires no refrigeration, making it convenient and eco-friendly. The product aims to support a cruelty-free lifestyle while providing a delicious and healthy option for consumers.
Government's PLI Scheme to Incentivise Use of Millets in RTE Food
The government of India is equally concerned for the health and wellbeing of its citizens as the population is. In line with the same, the government keeps adding or revising to the existing scheme and promotes health awareness by incentivising the manufacturers for following the food safety standards. According to Press Information Bureau, the Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI) implemented the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for food products since 2021-22 and it has been encouraging the use of millets in ready to cook and ready to eat food. The authority has sanctioned an amount of INR 8 billion (800 crores) to incentivise these products provided there is more than 15% of millets by volume/weight being used in the composition of these RTE food products.
Impact of COVID-19 on the India Ready-To-Eat Food Market
Although the COVID-19 outbreak created several inconveniences, it also gave many businesses a good economic opportunity. One of these is the dramatic increase in demand for FMCG goods, particularly those in the categories of ready-to-eat or frozen foods. According to a survey by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMAR), the Indian frozen food market is anticipated to increase at a rate of 17% per year from now until 2024. Even companies like Licious, iD Fresh Foods, and Grofers, among others, reported an uptick in sales in ready-to-eat and frozen food categories during the nationwide lockdown.
Impact of Russia-Ukraine War on India Ready-To-Eat Food Market
The 2022 conflict between Russia and Ukraine has a significant effect on world food security. A food shortage resulted from the crisis, particularly with regard to wheat. Following this quickly was India's restriction on wheat exports, which unbalanced world markets and significantly raised the price of wheat around the globe. The wheat exports ban caused a market shock in India, forcing farmers to sell a perishable crop like wheat at the lowest price possible when they had kept their crops in anticipation of rising prices. Wheat became more accessible to Indian customers because of extremely low prices.
Key Players Landscape and Outlook
The market is characterised by the timely emergence of a few significant small- to medium-sized local firms, catering to niche markets, in addition to the major players. The key players are emerging in the market as the awareness for product is increasing gradually.
For instance, The Taste Company (2020), a quick meal brand owned by Instahot Foods Private Limited, offers food created with common recipes for wholesome consumption. In other words, the company creates foods that are completely prepared and ready to eat; all that is required to enjoy them is the addition of hot water.
