MARKET GROWTH FACTORS:

1. Increasing Awareness of Healthy Living and Nutrition

Consumers are increasingly recognizing the health benefits of ghee, such as its rich content of essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants. This heightened awareness is driving a shift back to traditional cooking fats, which are perceived as healthier alternatives to processed oils. Additionally, the growing popularity of natural and whole food-based diets is further fueling this trend, positioning ghee as a preferred option among health-conscious individuals.

2. Tradition and Taste: Cultural and Culinary Insights

Ghee holds a cherished place in many cultural cuisines, particularly in South Asia, where it's an essential component of traditional dishes and rituals. Its rich flavor and high smoke point make it a versatile choice for both classic and modern cooking. As global interest in international foods rises and diasporic communities continue to grow, ghee is expanding its presence well beyond its traditional markets.

3. Extending Market Reach Through New Channels

The growing presence of supermarkets, hypermarkets, and e-commerce platforms has significantly increased the accessibility of ghee to consumers worldwide. Online shopping, in particular, offers a diverse range of ghee products-including organic and specialty varieties-tailored to various tastes and preferences.
