India's Food Industry Set to Soar

PR56673

MUMBAI, India, May 6/PRN=KYODO JBN/--

   Local market drives India's food industry to be one of the fastest growing

   Changes such as economic growth, the relaxation of import and export

policies, the growth of organised retailing, plus the changing lifestyles and

food habits of people in India, have opened the doors for imported food

products from around the world. In recent years, India has seen a rise in

middle-income groups which has resulted in an increase in consumption of

functional foods, convenient and ready foods and health foods. The domestic

spend of the average Indian consumer is approximately 30% of their total

income, making the region an integral part of the food ingredients network. The

study on the Indian food industry by FICCI-E&Y also supports this fast growth

by demonstrating that investment opportunities in the region are set to rise to

US$ 258 billion by 2015. Given the growth of the food industry in India, Fi

India, held from the 29 September - 1 October 2014, is an essential platform to

enter into this flourishing market.
