MarketersSpeak-1
India’s organised dairy segment has seen an annual growth of about 22
per cent over the last five years, and the segment is on track to account
for a quarter of the country’s dairy market by 2022, compared with 19
per cent this year,according to a report by CRISIL ratings.
‘Changing consumer preferences is the key reason for the organized
sector to grow at a faster pace. The rising purchasing power and
increasing health consciousness of the consumers have shifted their
preference towards branded products.
- Mr.AnujSethi
Director,CRISIL
