Today, we are witnessing dramatic changes in lifestyle which in turn is resulting in changes in consumption patterns of consumers across the world. The lifestyle change of the consumers, across demographics, is associated with demand for more convenience and healthy foods. The demand for convenience foods has been addressed by the food industry through adoption of innovations of food scientists, technologist and packaging experts. This has resulted in a range of convenience foods across all categories of the food industry. The growth in the processed foods segment has been one of the most noticeable trends in the recent years in the Indian market.
