India Canned Food Market Trends:

Increasing Popularity of Health-Conscious Canned Food

India canned food market outlook is experiencing a movement toward health-oriented canned foods as more consumers are becoming health-aware about the nutritional quality of what they eat. The EY Future Consumer Index states that nearly 94% of Indians are concerned about the well-being of their families, higher than the global average of 82%. Therefore, individuals are moving toward canned foods that provide convenience without losing health benefits. This consists of items such as low-sodium vegetables, bean-based proteins, and fruits with no added preservatives. Based on business publications, with the number of health-conscious consumers expected to rise from 108 million in 2020 to 176 million in 2026, the desire for healthy alternatives to food is an unprecedented shift in consumption behavior, instead of being a passing trend. With increasing health issues, particularly in urban centers, consumers are gravitating toward products that promote healthy living, including organic, gluten-free, and non-GMO canned food. The plant-based and vegan diets trend is also affecting canned food producers to increase their lines to meet this demand. These health-aware trends are supplemented by packaging innovations, including BPA-free cans and green materials, to make the product safe and sustainable. Increasing demand for healthier and convenient products in urban and semi-urban areas is transforming India's canned food market.

Canned vegetables and fruits, soups, curries, and snacks provide convenience, longer shelf life, and lesser preparation time and are thus a preferred choice of working professionals, students, and busy families. The increasing population of nuclear families in which both the partners are employed is also contributing to the demand for ready-to-eat canned foods. These products spare time while also minimizing cooking requirements, fitting the contemporary consumer's lifestyle of speed. Companies are emphasizing providing diverse flavors, textures, and cuisines to meet the various consumer needs so that the convenience aspect does not be at the expense of taste.
