Consistent growth and growing consumer acceptance have made this market a lucrative option. Growing millennial population in India is driving the consumption.

Market insights:

According to the World Instant Noodles Association, India is the fourth-largest instant noodles market, globally, and accounted for 3.26 Bn servings in FY 2015. Consistent growth, and an ever-growing consumer acceptance have made this market a lucrative option for various players. By FY 2020, the market is expected to reach a value of INR 51.1 Bn, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of  ~6.1% from FY 2015. Among the various companies operating in the market, Nestle enjoys the highest market share (~60%), followed by ITC. Owing to its high rate of market penetration, Nestle could retain its popularity even after the ban on the marketing and sales of Maggi, because of the presence of excessive levels of lead, by the Indian government, in 2015. Following this, most companies focused on launching healthier versions of noodles using vegetables, atta, and oats. The market is infested with several players, including Nestle India Ltd. (Maggi), ITC Ltd. (Sunfeast Yippee Noodles), Hindustan Unilever Ltd. (Knorr Soupy Noodles), GSK Consumer Healthcare Ltd. India (Foodles), Indo Nissin Ltd. (Top Ramen), and CG Foods India Pvt. Ltd. (Wai Wai), among others.

Instant Noodles Market in India

Market drivers:

A growing millennial population, and increasing customers who are working-class are driving the consumption of packaged food products, such as instant noodles, in India. Also, the companies have recently introduced several products, which are distinctive in terms of new flavors, healthy ingredients, and packaging. Depending on these factors, consumption of instant noodles has been increasing at a considerable rate in India, during the past few years.

Market challenges:

A large part of the population comes from the middle or lower-middle class. Therefore, price sensitivity plays a significant role in hindering the growth of the instant noodles industry across the country. Most people in rural areas are unaware of the various brands that are available unless they see them at their local store. Hence, lack of a well-established distribution network acts as a challenge for the instant noodles market in India.
