Health & Wellness Products Are Yet To Gain Popularity For Indian Consumers


 Numerous Health  and Wellness products  have been  launched by Indian food  manufacturers  from low ,low sugar , fibres , probiotics ,fortified and other products  but  there has been lukewarm response from Indian consumers as  they are yet  to forgo their liking for   sweets  and fat laced food products .

A report
Health and wellness have been the most talked-about subjects in the food and beverages industry in recent years due to an alarming rise in obesity, diabetes and other lifestyle diseases, forcing companies to put nutritional information on food packs, stop promoting unhealthy food and introduce healthier items.

But the Indian buyer is not walking her talk on healthy food habits. Sugar-free juices and ice creams have not gained market and fast food giant McDonald's doesn't feel the need to introduce healthier foods like salads in India because "the Indian consumer's health habits haven't yet evolved".
