Market outlook
The plant-based food market offers alternatives like plant-based meat, dairy, and eggs, mimicking the taste and texture of animal-based products but made from plant products like soy, beans, and chickpeas. With more Indians choosing plant-based options, the plant-based food market is expected to exceed a billion U.S. dollars by 2030. Furthermore, the evolving landscape of this market has drawn significant investments from companies eager to capitalize on the growing trend.
Consumer preferences
In India, consumer preferences are shifting towards plant-based foods, as revealed by a recent survey.

However, some express uncertainty about the ingredients in plant-based alternatives compared to their traditional counterparts.
