TRENDS
Total volume sales of fruits grew by 6% in 2015, which was higher than in the previous year.
Stronger growth was attributable to a rise in the production of apples, oranges, cherries,
strawberries, bananas and peaches in 2015. The increase in production of various fruits
helped slow average unit price rises for fruits in 2015, which supported consumption by
middle- and lower-income groups in 2015.
An increase in the number of fruit processing units across India helped support total volume
growth of fruits in 2015. Furthermore, increasing usage of fruits in beverages provided support
to growth of fruits in 2015.
Strawberries registered the strongest total volume growth of 16% in 2015. The increasing
availability of strawberries across India at any time of the year, and also the usage of
strawberries in preparing crushes, sweets, chews and jams, supported strong double-digit
total volume growth in 2015.
Plums/sloes posted a decline of 2% in total volume terms in 2015. The fall was due to
unfavourable weather conditions in the plum-producing areas of Kashmir, which hampered
plum flower growth and resulted in low production.
Retail accounted for an 83% volume share of total fruits in 2015, with the foodservice channel
posting a 16% volume share. Increasing urbanisation, rising disposable incomes and the
increasing availability of fresh fruits across India supported the retail channel in 2015;
however, an increase in foodservice chains across India with a greater offering of fruit salads
and fresh juices resulted in an increasing value share for the foodservice channel in each of
the last three years of the review period.
Bananas, which are available throughout the year, continued to be the most consumed fruit in
2015 with sales of 24 million tonnes. Lemon and limes, which are available throughout the
year, registered growth of 2% in total volume terms to reach sales of two million tonnes. Fruits
such as strawberries, cherries and peaches/nectarines, although very low in terms of volume
sales, were available in modern retail chains throughout the year and were able to post strong
growth rates. Apples, mangos and oranges, which are seasonal fruits in India, posted healthy
total volume growth in 2015, mainly because of an increase in production.
Retail chains such as More, Reliance Fresh, Spencers, Food World, Namdhari Fresh, Food
Bazaar, Nilgiris and Easy Day were some of the most prominent retail outlets for sales of
fruits in 2015. Most of the fruit varieties are available in these stores throughout the year.

These outlets also sell a number of Western varieties of fruits, such as strawberries, dark
grapes, imported apples from various countries, pears, grapefruits, peaches and plums to
attract consumers throughout the year.
Increasing health awareness across urban India led to an increase in demand for organic
fruits towards the end of the review period; however, organic/fairtrade fruits accounted for a
volume share of only 4% in 2015, which was mainly due to lack of availability and few
specialist retailers selling these kinds of fruits. One such retailer is Namdhari Fresh, which is
available only in urban areas of India.
The central government of India is planning to make the entire northeast of India a hub for
organic farming, which will drive investment across this region in the coming years.
PROSPECTS
Total volume sales of fruits are expected to grow at a CAGR of 5% over the forecast period,
with sales set to reach 83 million tonnes in 2020. An increasing population and growing
awareness of consuming fruits as a healthier option are set to boost sales during the forecast
period.
Total volume sales of fruits are expected to grow at a CAGR of 5% over the forecast period,
slightly below the CAGR registered over the review period. Growth will be boosted because of
rises in fruit production and imports. Furthermore, sales of fresh fruit will be driven by demand
from health-conscious urban consumers.
Strawberries is expected to record the strongest performance over the forecast period, with
total volume sales set to grow at a CAGR of 11%. Growing from a small base and with
increasing availability across India throughout the year, sales are set to achieve double-digit
total volume growth.
As of 2015, there were no potential threats to the performance of fruits over the forecast
period, aside from unfavourable weather conditions.

increase the yield per hectare during the forecast period. Even the subsidises for drip irrigation
and organic farming from state and central governments will continue during the forecast period,
which will also support growth.

Outlook
The central government has plans to establish 42 massive food parks over the forecast
period, which will reduce food wastage by another 5%. Furthermore, according to NCCD
(National Centre for Cold Chain Development), there was a 20% annual increase in cold storage
vehicles from 2012 onwards. The Department of Agriculture & Co-Operation in India is also
providing financial aid in the form of a 35% subsidy for buying cold storage vehicles, which will
also help in reducing wastage in the coming years.
The insistence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the use of fruit juices in soft drinks will
help to reduce wastage in the coming years. Furthermore, this has led to an increase in the
number of food processing centres across India, and major soft drink manufacturers such as
PepsiCo India and Coca-Cola India will start using fruit juices in their soft drink portfolios in the
coming years, which will in turn help to reduce the wastage of fresh food.
