India’s food and beverage sector features a medium-to-high level of competition, with a total of 39,318 active factories at the end of FY2016, most of them small-scale industrial units. At around 60% in FY2016, the share of the organised sector in food processing is relatively high, although there are significant variations across segments, according to IBEF. Nevertheless, the unorganised sector still has considerable influence, which intensifies competition. Liberalisation of the FDI rules for the sector in recent years has attracted several large foreign investors willing to tap the growth potential of the domestic market.
