PROSPECTS

Hectic lifestyles strengthen appreciation for the convenience of ready meals

Despite the country’s large population, ready meals is still a small category in India as compared to more developed economies or even China and other South East Asian nations. This is partly due to a strong preference for fresh food among Indian consumers.

Wide product variety and improvements in distribution help to drive demand

The variety of products available in ready meals in India is wide and diverse. Manufacturers offer a range of options to consumers, encompassing everything from traditional Indian meals such as poha, upma and dal chawal to more exotic dishes like chicken and mutton biriyani.

Consumers show growing interest in frozen ready meals

Frozen ready meals remained by far the largest category within ready meals in India in value terms in 2018, and also posted the fastest growth in current value sales. This was partly due to strong performances by leading frozen food manufacturers with expansive product portfolios, including McCain Foods, Capital Foods Ltd and MTR Foods Ltd.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

McCain Foods retains its lead in ready meals in India

McCain Foods remained the clear leader in ready meals in India in value terms in 2018. The primary reason for the company’s continued leadership was its extensive product portfolio, which offers a range of options to suit the tastes of people across all age groups.

Capital Foods Ltd and MTR Foods Ltd continue to occupy second and third spots

Capital Foods Ltd ranked second in ready meals in 2018, and continued to post strong double-digit growth in current value sales. The company offers a wide range of products under its Ching’s brand, including sandwiches, spring rolls and similar items.

ITC aims to strengthen its position via new product development

ITC Ltd placed fourth overall in ready meals in 2018, and recorded robust growth in current value sales. While this company already has a strong portfolio, it aims to continue developing new products to tap into evolving consumer demands.
