India’s food processing and ingredients sector is on an impressive growth path, projected to double by 2030 with an 8.8% CAGR. At the same time, the country’s food-tech segment is expanding at 14% CAGR, surpassing global benchmarks. Alongside this, the food processing equipment market is expected to reach USD 1.5 billion by 2033, while packaging machinery is set to cross USD 6.6 billion by 2030.
The growth story took center stage at the inaugural edition of Anuga FoodTec India and Anuga Select India 2025, held at the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Mumbai. The event witnessed the presence of international dignitaries, including H.E. Ahmad Al Ahmari (Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia), H.E. Zozo Binti (D.R. Congo), H.E. Labane Gideon (Consul General of South Africa), H.E. Donnawit Poolsawat (Consul General of Thailand), Bastian Mingers (VP, Food Portfolio, Koelnmesse GmbH), and Milind Dixit (MD – India & SAARC, Koelnmesse Pvt Ltd).
Highlighting India’s strengths, Mr. Seetharaman Raghupathi, Executive Director, National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) said, “India’s food and beverage sector is growing rapidly, backed by 180 million hectares of arable land, food processing valued at ₹75 trillion, and food expenditure making up over 40% of consumer spend. Dairy contributes 25% of this sector, with India producing one-fourth of the world’s milk, worth ₹12 trillion. With 17 million farmers across 235,000 villages, 35% of whom are women, dairy cooperatives return 75% of the consumer rupee, channelling ₹2.1 billion daily into the rural economy. Initiatives like White Revolution 2.0, which aims to establish 75,000 new cooperatives by 2028–29, will further boost this growth”.
The twin expos are hosting over 1,100 exhibitors across 55,000 sqm, with participation from 65 countries, and are expected to attract 60,000 visitors across three days. Covering the entire food and beverage value chain, the events serve as a platform for cutting-edge innovations, global collaborations, and knowledge exchange.
Organized by Koelnmesse India, these exhibitions are designed to accelerate South Asia’s F&B growth by fostering innovation and building international trade partnerships.
