Consumer, Retail & E-commerce

Some of the key challenges being faced by the Indian Consumer and Retail industry, over the last three years have been the falling disposable income coupled with soaring inflation. All these suggested signs of a weak economy. Consumers became cautious and hoarded for a rainy day. This impacted the industry, with year-on-year growth falling exceptionally low and even negative in some cases. However, over the last few years, change in political regime has impacted the consumer sentiment in a positive manner. This along with key macro indicators, disposal income and inflation, real estate correction, has improved situation for the better. The industry appears to be gearing up to take advantage of the expected positives being witnessed by the system.

Agriculture and Food sector forms an important part of the Consumer Products industry. While this sector presents immense opportunities for investments, it also faces many challenges such as dependence on monsoon, small land holdings, outdated technology and lack of awareness about new developments.

The food processing industry forms an important link between agriculture, manufacturer and the consumer. It ensures better prices to farmers, thereby, indirectly encouraging higher agriculture production. It also helps in reducing wastage of food on account of their perishability.

Challenges abound in the food and beverage industry, whether it’s changing demographics, food safety, cost control, sustainability or demand for locally sourced items.
