A fast track to the Indian market

Come explore one of the world’s largest and most dynamic food & beverage markets with SIAL India 2025!

Many Indian consumers have shifted to more high-value food consumption habits – with great growth potential for U.S. exporters. SIAL India 2025 is the perfect platform for U.S. companies looking to develop and promote food business in this incredibly promising market.

This event receives crucial support from FIFI (Forum of Indian Food Importers), MOFPI (Ministry of Food Processing Industries Government of India), PHDCCI (PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry), APEDA (Agricultural & Processed Food Products Export Development Authority), HHC (Happy Hotelier Club), and NAFED (National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India).

U.S. exporters will find the following trends in the Indian market:

  • Functional and Health-Boosting Ingredients: The demand for healthy and multifunctional foods have increased in past few years. Consumers are not just looking for immunity boosting food, but products that improve mental, gut, and overall health.
  • Value-Conscious Consumers: Indian consumers are shifting from being price conscious to value conscious. Consumers are increasingly craving high quality food options with optimum value for the cost.
  • Global cuisine and fusion: Indian consumers are keen on trying new global cuisine, as more and more Indians travel internationally particularly to the United States for educational, work, and leisure travel. As such, the HRI industry and retail sector are taking note and introducing new imported ingredients in their offerings.
  • Sustainable, plant-based and climate conscious diet: Indian consumers are willing to pay premium for the products which are sustainably sourced, provide substitute for meats, like plant-based diet and locally sourced ingredients.
