Opportunity: Increasing demand for branded premium biscuits
As incomes rise, consumers are more willing to spend money on premium products. This is leading to increased demand for premium biscuits, which are perceived as being of higher quality than non-branded biscuits. Furthermore, consumers are becoming more health-conscious, and they are looking for healthier snack options. Premium biscuits are often made with healthier ingredients, such as whole grains, nuts, and seeds. This makes them a more attractive option for health-conscious consumers. In addition, the growing indulgence, health concerns, and familiarity with rich taste among Indian consumers has prompted Indian manufacturers to experiment with a wide range of biscuits and cookies. This has also resulted in stronger growth in the premium area of the market when compared to the economical and mid segments. The variations in biscuits such as cholesterol free, healthy, flavorful, and easy to carry at a fair cost have attracted a huge number of consumers, causing the sector to grow at a faster rate.
