Biscuits and breads comprise the major segment of India’s bakery industry, accounting for 82 percent of all bakery production in the country. It indicates that though the Indian bakery industry has of late been flooded with fashionable lifestyle products like croissants, muffins, designer cakes and high-end chocolates, it is still predominantly need-based.

Though of imported origin, over the years, breads and biscuits have graduated to become the needs of middle income and even lower middle income households in urban India. Biscuits became an integral part of India’s snacking habits during the latter half of the last century, and today India is the third largest producer of biscuits in the world, with only the US and China ahead of us in this regard. The immense role of biscuits and cookies in time-starved post-modern India’s snacking options cannot be overlooked.

Today biscuits have high acceptance in India, across a gamut of socio-economic and demographic profiles and has significant penetration in rural India too. India is the largest biscuit consuming nation in the world. Most of the biscuit and cookie consumption in the country takes place in the east and north India.
