Key Highlights

Market valuation shows Bread & Rolls account for one-third of the Bakery & Cereals market in India, over twice the size of the second-largest product category, Cookies (sweet Biscuits).

Private label penetration is extremely high in Morning Goods, accounting for approximately two-thirds of the market by volume. Bakery & Cereals tend to record a very high private label penetration rate given the undeveloped and fragmented state of the Indian retail market, as private labels are typically most successful in mature and concentrated retail environments.

A significant "attitude-behavior" gaps exist between the share of consumers citing that a trend affects their consumption and the actual share of the market value these trends influence. This is because consumers don't always act on these trends – the result is that overall trend influence is limited, but has the potential to grow.
