The food processing sector in India is essential for the diversification of agricultural activities, enhancing value addition, and producing surplus agro-food products for export. This sector bridges agriculture and industry, boosting the value of agricultural produce, ensuring better prices for farmers, and generating global demand for Indian agricultural products.
India's food and beverage packaged industry is witnessing significant growth. The market size is expected to rise from $33.7 billion in 2023 to $46.3 billion by 2028. This growth is driven by rising consumer demand for packaged products due to changing consumption habits and lifestyles, increased awareness, economic growth, demographic shifts, a growing working population, and the expansion of retail and e-commerce sectors.
