India: Retail Foods

India’s food retail sector has rebounded from the COVID-19 pandemic and is expected to expand massively in the next decade thanks to rising incomes, urbanization, and a shift in consumption habits, fueling demand for healthy, premium food products. While traditional retailers continue to dominate the market, the country’s rapidly expanding e-commerce sector is distinguishing itself by offering high value imported food products and innovative services/convenience. Opportunities for U.S. exporters exist in consumer-oriented products, especially tree nuts, fruits, breakfast cereals, confectionaries, and processed foods.
