India’s food processing sector continues to expand in response to changing demographics, strong local and international brands, emerging modern retail and growing consumer acceptance of processed foods. Packaged foods sales more than doubled between 2008 and 2013 to $30 billion. Despite strong growth, per capita consumption of processed foods remains low and only a small percentage of India’s agricultural production is processed, suggesting that there is ample opportunity for future growth.
