Branded food staples are important food commodities offered under a specific brand name. These products often comprise grains, pulses, spices, and other basics commonly found in Indian households. Branded food staples are advertised to customers as items that provide constant quality, security, and dependability, and are frequently packaged in appealing and handy shapes. These items' branding and marketing are meant to distinguish them from generic or unbranded competitors and to foster customer brand loyalty. Branded food staples are an important component of the Indian food market, and they are distributed through a range of distribution methods, including contemporary retail shops, e-commerce platforms, and local kirana stores.
Customers are seeking nutritious items to help them maintain a healthy lifestyle as pollution levels rise and poor eating habits become more common. People are becoming increasingly aware of the advantages of eating organic food. Customers are growing more health-conscious, and they prefer food that is free of dangerous chemicals and pesticides. Organic foods are regarded to be healthier and safer than conventionally farmed food. Organic foods are becoming more readily available in India, both in retail stores and online. This improved accessibility has contributed to increasing consumer awareness about the benefits of organic food staples.
“The growing urbanization, demand for convenience & higher quality branded staples, growing popularity of online retail, and increasing competition between branded market players are the factors that are driving the growth of India branded food staple market.”
Furthermore, the Indian government has initiated several efforts to encourage organic cultivation and raise public knowledge of the benefits of organic food staples. These programs have served to enhance public awareness about the relevance of organic food staples.
The COVID-19 outbreak has disrupted supply chains for food staples all over India. Furthermore, the impact of the pandemic on society and the economy has been witnessed as a result of lockdowns across India, labor mobility restrictions, travel bans, airline suspensions, and most importantly, a slowdown in the economy, which has seriously affected the sustainability of supply chains of acquiring raw material from all around India. India branded food staple market has faced several additional issues due to COVID-19, including safety, unavailability of labor, crisis management and response, awareness, re-forming business models, technological innovation, and other unintended consequences. The COVID-19 impact had decreased the India branded food staple market revenue and has caused a demand-supply imbalance.
The Indian agricultural market is extensively regulated by rigorous regulations for various agricultural approaches such as organic and conventional farming. Agricultural legislation are critical in India's agriculture business. They are intended to guarantee that the agriculture industry runs securely, sustainably, and efficiently.
The National Program for Organic Production (NPOP), a Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare division, regulates organic farming in India. Standards for organic production, certification, accreditation processes, and recommendations for the labeling and packaging of organic products have all been established by the NPOP.
In India, organic farming is dependent on certification. Examination and certifying farmers, processors, and traders are some of the certification organizations the NPOP has accredited. The certification procedure entails checking the farm or processing facility for compliance with the organic requirements by inspection, record review, and testing of the soil, water, and food.
Commodity price movements further posed hurdles for branded food staple enterprises, with prices of certain staples such as wheat and pulses soaring due to supply chain disruptions and panic purchasing. Furthermore, because physical businesses were closed during the lockdown, the need for branded essential commodities increased on the internet. Companies with a strong online presence and distribution infrastructure fared better in this trend, while those with a weak online presence were compelled to endure hardships.
The India branded food staple market is moderate sized market, but there are fewer market participants to keep up with the competition, increasing the possibility of using low-quality items in the manufacture and packaging of food staples. Throughout the last decade, there has been an increase in customer demand for fresh and nutritious food. Customers are scrutinizing food and beverage labels these days as a consequence of increased awareness and consciousness, and food staples are no exception. Manufacturers are introducing clean-label and natural food essential goods to the market to suit client demand. Clean-label items are enticing consumers and driving the sales of food products that are supposed to bring advantages. Customers can discern between high-quality and low-quality food staples on the market because they are knowledgeable and aware of the ingredients used in food items. The rise in knowledge and awareness increase the India branded food staple market demand for quality food.
Agriculture and associated industries account for approximately 20.1% of India's GDP, contributing a major share in the country's economic structure. A sizable section of the population has access to agricultural employment possibilities in addition to getting food and raw materials from it. In response to the nation's growing need for food essentials, the government is proposing new programs and laws. These projects seek to raise yields, improve quality, and achieve a balance between supply and demand. For example, the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana was created in 2015 to help the agriculture business. The program's goal was to promote sustainable agriculture practices, enhance productivity, and boost farmer income. Farmers were given financial assistance under this strategy to adopt organic farming practices. Moreover, the Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH), founded in 2014, aimed to improve horticulture development and assist farmers in applying sustainable and organic farming practices. Consequently, increasing government assistance for agriculture is expected to raise agricultural food staple output and quality. As a result, it provides a chance for branded enterprises to acquire agricultural products and promote them through their brands. The introduction of organic and pesticide free agricultural products companies is expected to increase the India branded food staple market size in the overall agricultural food staple industry.
Pricing is a key factor in the success of a product and the overall profitability of a firm in the branded food staple market in India. The existing market participants in India's branded food staple industry are engaged in a price war with their competitors to gain the largest share of the market. To stay competitive, all existing market competitors are using a similar pricing strategy: they are employing economic pricing on popular daily essentials and charging a premium for food staples that are less popular and are likely to develop prominence in the future. Furthermore, distribution channel plays a major role for a company or a brand to deliver its products or services to the end consumer. For an established or a growing company in the India branded food staple market the usage of a proper distribution channel is important as proper multi-channel distribution of products increases product promotion and helps to capture market share. For new market players that are planning to enter the market of food staples, the planning for setting up a distributional channel is very important as a proper distribution channel could provide a better advantage over the existing market players and help to capture the market shares in the untapped areas. For India, rural regions cover the majority of the market share, and conquering the rural region will provide extensive exposure and growth to the company in the India branded food staple market.
