Rising Popularity of Plant-Based Dairy Alternatives
India's packaged food market for vegan foods is observing high growth in plant-based dairy products. For instance, in May 2024, Tata Consumer Products introduced Tata Simply Better, plant-based meat alternatives in India, providing protein-packed, preservative-free options such as nuggets, burger patties, and kebabs to address increasing demand for environmentally friendly, plant-based food. Moreover, consumers are moving towards almond, soy, oat, and coconut milk based on health awareness, lactose intolerance, and environmental concerns. Plant-based yogurts, cheeses, and butters are also becoming popular as companies experiment with improved texture and taste. Fortification with minerals and vitamins, like calcium and B12, adds to their popularity, making them suitable alternatives to conventional dairy. Coffee culture and health-conscious consumers have also increased the demand for plant-based milk. Indian tastes such as turmeric, masala chai, and saffron-flavored alternatives are also making these more familiar to local tastes. The fact that the products are readily available in retail supermarkets and web stores is also adding to their growing popularity. With plant-based dairy alternatives going more mainstream, they are projected to be very important in how the future looks for India's vegan packaged foods.
Expansion of Vegan Ready-to-Eat and Frozen Meals
With hectic lifestyles and heightened interest in plant-based eating, the market for vegan ready-to-eat (RTE) and frozen food is booming in India. For example, in November 2024, Vezlay Foods exhibited its new plant-based meat innovations, Crispy Veg Chicken and Tofu Fries, which are a testament to the growing consumer demand for sustainable and ethical food options in India. Furthermore, consumers are seeking convenient, nutritious, and tasty foods that suit their ethical and dietary needs. Vegan biryanis, curries, parathas, and even vegan versions of popular Indian snacks such as kebabs and samosas are going mainstream. With the launch of high-protein, fiber-based, and preservative-free options, such foods are becoming increasingly attractive for health-aware consumers to buy. The expansion of online food retailing platforms and instant-commerce delivery options has also strengthened the penetration of vegan packaged foods. Fashion brands also try out regional taste options and organic ingredients to suit various palates. With greater numbers of households adopting plant-based eating, vegan frozen and RTE meals are set to be a significant category in India's packaged foods market, bringing both convenience and sustainability to contemporary consumers.
Growing Demand for Vegan Bakery and Confectionery
India bakery and confectionery sector is seeing a surge in demand for plant-based solutions. Consumers want plant-based products replacing traditional cake, cookie, and chocolate which do not have dairy, egg, and animal-based additives. Easy availability of quality plant-based butter, non-dairy milk, and egg substitutes has become easy for bakeries to supply great-tasting vegan food without affecting taste and texture. Healthy consumers are also seeking alternatives that are gluten-free, sugar-free, and contain natural ingredients. Vegan chocolates, such as those produced with oat or almond milk, are gaining popularity, whereas protein-fortified, superfood-based vegan snacks are becoming a hit among fitness enthusiasts. Online websites and specialty bakeries are driving the availability of such products, reaching urban and semi-urban markets. With increasing awareness regarding ethical consumption, vegan bakery and confectionery items will become a major part of India's packaged food sector.
