Around the same time‚ India's online grocery market was forecast to reach USD 14.33 Billion by 2025.

Quick commerce platforms are emerging as a key channel for discovery‚ including trial of new innovative products.

How will the India Non-Alcoholic Beverages Market Evolve in the Coming Years?

The India non-alcoholic beverages market is expected to grow in the coming years owing to the large population who is young and the changing consumption patterns in the country. Meanwhile‚ the government is pushing the health and well-being agenda and regulating sugar consumption‚ which is helping markets for healthier beverages.
