Lassi Market in India Bolstered by the Introduction of Innovative Packaging Solutions

The Lassi market in India has experienced an exponential growth over the past several years. This can be attributed to the rising disposable incomes of the consumers as well as the wide array of health benefits offered by the consumption of lassi.

Lassi refers to a sweet or savoury beverage with a thick creamy consistency which is made by churning curd or yogurt. Also known as buttermilk, lassi represents one of the most popular beverages in India, particularly in the northern parts of the country. It has a sour taste and is consumed by either adding salt and spices, or sugar and fresh fruit chunks to it. Besides being consumed as a refreshing and hydrating drink, lassi is also considered as a complete meal. Some of the popular flavours of lassi include strawberry, mango, rose, pistachio, almond, etc. A new research report by IMARC Group, titled “Lassi Market in India: Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2018-2023”, estimates that the market was around INR XX Billion in 2017, registering a CAGR of 21% during the year 2010-2017.
