Market Share:
With the changing socio-economic environment i.e. increased literacy rate (about 65%), higher per capita income, larger number of women going out for work to sustain family, higher living standard and increased tourist population etc., one can expect at least 5% growth rate in case of bakery products in coming years. According to an estimate, there are about 1lakh SSI units producing items worth Rs.3000 crores annually. Our per capita consumption of bakery products is the lowest in the world i.e. 1.27 kg. Whereas in advanced countries, it ranges from 50-70kgs.
Keeping in view these facts, the manufacture of bakery product has substantial scope for development in smaller towns villages and backward areas and can provide good number of employment opportunities at different levels.
