Currently, the food processing industry in India accounts for 32 per cent of India’s food market, and 11.60 per cent share of employment in the domestic food industry. The food processing market in India is expected to reach INR 53,435.52 Bn by FY 2024, expanding at a CAGR of 12.09 per cent. An interesting change the industry is witnessing is with regard to consumers’ taste preference. Especially since the lockdown, psychologists say that people seem to relate to tastes that have a simple base. Foods with just the basic ingredients are being preferred. And the food industry needs to adapt to this situation. In order to do so, the companies need to analyze and research on this topic and produce products with the intended flavor.
