Processed food is all set to see a steady growth for a couple of years. In past few years, we have witnessed a vast diversity of products being introduced as consumer’s preference in terms of taste is evolving and young consumers are keen to experiment on their choice of snack. Product innovation is the key to tap every possible potential customer segment in this competitive industry. Some have chosen to introduce new products to a wider known umbrella brand while some companies are creating separate brands for different products however no strategy has been statistically better or worse than the other. In this quest of the market, share companies are increasingly introducing local flavors in every market which are likely to be one of the prime reasons for the growth of the industry in coming years. Like lay’s including flavors like “Achari masti” in India which is one of the fastest growing markets for the industry.
