India Consumer Goods and Retail Sector Report 2024-2025

Traditional, unorganised producers and distributors dominate India's thriving consumer goods and retail sector. Modern consumer goods manufacturers and retailers are expanding into the Indian market, led by India's vast conglomerates. The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on India's consumer goods and retail sectors. Due to the government's quarantine measures, traditional retailers, such as the ubiquitous kirana store, saw an increase in demand during the pandemic as consumers prioritised proximity retail. The pandemic also increased e-commerce demand in India, improving the prospects of e-commerce operators and modern retailers. Following the pandemic, international brands are expanding their presence in India, drawn by the country's significant pent-up demand. Twenty-four global brands are expected to enter India in 2023, the highest in a decade.
