India Biscuits Production & Demand Trend

India's biscuit production has seen substantial growth in recent years, driven by advancements in manufacturing technology, expanding production capacities, and the entry of new market players. The demand for biscuits is growing consistently, supported by their affordability, long shelf-life, and versatility as a snack option for both urban and rural consumers. Popular varieties like glucose, cream, and Marie biscuits dominate the market, while there is also a rising demand for health-oriented biscuits, such as multigrain, high-fiber, and sugar-free options, due to increasing health consciousness among consumers. Factors like urbanization, higher disposable incomes, and the shift towards convenient and ready-to-eat food products have also contributed to this demand surge. Furthermore, the growing influence of Western diets and the preference for on-the-go snacks among younger demographics are expected to continue driving the demand for biscuits in India, making it one of the fastest-growing sectors within the Indian food industry.

India Biscuits Market Restraints & Challenges

Despite the growth opportunities, the Indian biscuits market faces several challenges, including rising raw material costs and fluctuating commodity prices, which can impact profit margins. Intense competition among local and international players makes it difficult for new entrants to gain a foothold. Additionally, consumer concerns over sugar and calorie content in biscuits pose a significant challenge for manufacturers focusing on health-conscious products.

India Biscuits Supply/ Value Chain Bottlenecks/ Challenges

The value chain of the Indian biscuits market involves raw material suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, retailers, and end consumers. Raw materials such as flour, sugar, and fats are procured from domestic and international suppliers. Manufacturers focus on production, packaging, and quality control before distributing the products through various channels. The distribution network includes both traditional trade (kirana stores) and modern retail formats (supermarkets, e-commerce), which play a crucial role in reaching the diverse consumer base across urban and rural areas.

The biscuits supply chain in India encounters multiple bottlenecks, such as inconsistent quality of raw materials, logistical issues, and distribution inefficiencies, especially in rural areas. Supply chain disruptions due to factors like transportation strikes or natural calamities can lead to delays and increased costs. Managing these complexities while ensuring product freshness and quality remains a significant challenge for manufacturers.

Consumer Preference of Type of Biscuits

Consumer preferences in India are shifting towards healthier and premium biscuits varieties, with a growing demand for products like digestive biscuits, multigrain, and sugar-free options. Traditional glucose biscuits remain popular among mass consumers due to their affordability. However, urban consumers are increasingly inclined towards cream-filled and chocolate-coated biscuits, indicating a trend towards indulgence and taste over price sensitivity.
