Expansion of Food Processing Industry
The swift expansion of the food processing sector in India is a vital factor impelling the growth of the market. As the population grows and urbanization advances, the need for packaged and processed foods is on a rise. Shoppers are looking for convenience while ensuring safety, thus prioritizing products that are free from contamination. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the food processing sector's market size in India is projected to grow to US$ 1,274 billion by 2027. This notable expansion underscores the necessity of strict hygiene measures throughout the supply chain. To satisfy consumer demands and guarantee regulatory adherence, food manufacturers are significantly investing in cutting-edge technology and infrastructure, integrating effective cleaning and sanitizing methods. Disinfectants are essential for upholding product integrity by removing pathogens and stopping cross-contamination. From managing raw materials to processing, packaging, and storage, upholding strict hygiene standards is crucial to prevent foodborne diseases and product recalls. Furthermore, with the rise of international food trade, Indian food processors are progressively complying with international safety standards, which is fueling the need for efficient disinfectant solutions. The increasing dependence on food-safe disinfectants guarantees not just product safety but also bolsters consumer trust in processed and packaged foods.
Impact of Modern Retail Formats
The emergence of contemporary retail formats, such as supermarkets, hypermarkets, and online grocery shops, is influencing the food disinfectant market in India. These retail stores are preferred destinations for buying a variety of food products, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, meats, dairy goods, and processed foods. As consumer demand for convenience and variety rises, contemporary retail stores are encountering increased foot traffic and higher expectations for cleanliness and hygiene. Moreover, the growing number e-commerce channels is highlighting the critical need for ensuring food safety during both storage and delivery. As per the IBEF, the Indian online grocery sector is projected to grow from US$ 3.95 billion in FY21 to US$ 26.93 billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 33%. As online grocery stores expand, they are also implementing stringent sanitation measures to prevent contamination during packaging and delivery, thereby bolstering the market growth. In addition, brick-and-mortar retail chains face increasing pressure for adhering to stringent hygiene regulations and reducing the risk of foodborne diseases. This is resulting in an increase in the need for specific food disinfectants that are applicable in food contact areas, storage spaces, and refrigerated units. By including these disinfectants in their routine practices, retailers guarantee the safety of food and allow consumers to shop confidently, which further supports the expansion of the food disinfectant market in India.
