The living styles of Indians have changed a lot in recent years. Earlier, consumers used to have Parle-G glucose biscuits in the early morning with a hot cup of tea. With innovations in biscuits like introduction of cream biscuits, digestive, milk, cookies, crackers, etc. many consumers shifted their route towards newer types. Though Parle-G is still the market leader in the glucose biscuit segment, the overall market has been captured by cookies biscuits. Reason being, they are crispy, yummy and healthy to eat as they come in various types like oats, multigrain, different flavours, etc. In addition to this, cookies are nowadays used as a substitute for chocolates and sweets during festive season. The market is expected to increase on account of more number of variants in biscuits and lower price packets introduced for most of the premium biscuits.
Growth Drivers for Indian Biscuits Market are active lifestyle and health awareness of consumers, the rising demand for ready to eat snacks.

Additionally, increasing raw material costs and a rising tax burden on the sector are the challenges that the biscuit market is likely to face in the near future.
Based on packaging, the India Biscuits Market is grouped into packets, jars, boxes, and others. Packets hold a significant share in the biscuit packaging segment. Most manufacturers would bundle biscuits in tight wraps because, unlike loose packets, consumers equate these with firm, non-broken products. Aside from that, manufacturers are incorporating innovations into their products, such as air cushions within flexible packs, to retain the shelf appeal of biscuits.
Based on the distribution channel, the online sector is anticipated to grow at a rapid growth rate over the forecast period as they provide higher discounts and multiple options to purchase. Additionally, the doorstep delivery option at no additional costs further propels more buyers to save time to shop their essentials. For instance, biscuits from national and foreign brands are easily available on Amazon, Big Basket, nature’s basket, patanjali ayurveda, Flip kart, and Snap deal, among other e-retailers in India.
Based on region, the India biscuits market is led by the Northern Region of the country that holds the maximum market share and it is expected to dominate the Indian market over the forecast period.
