In 2017-18, investments in the Indian food technology sector surged by over 400%, reaching US$ 370 million. The emergence of app-based food delivery systems like Swiggy and Zomato in India has driven the development of cloud kitchens, which provide consumers with simple homecooked food and premium meals. As per IBEF, there were 20,000 active cloud kitchens in Delhi in 2022, and they are expected to increase by 20% per annum.
Food retailers that serve ethnic Indian cuisines in organised setups are expected to witness great success in the market, as is illustrated by the rapid expansion of restaurant chains like Bikanervala and Haldirams. In the space of casual dining, restaurants serving regional cuisines from Kashmir, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala are expected to witness a surge in demand. Regional cuisines of Northeast, Himachal Pradesh, and Odisha are also expected to become popular in the forecast period.
Biryani has emerged as the most popular dish on online food delivery platforms like Swiggy and Uber Eats in India, with reported sales of over INR 2000 crore. Its popularity has surpassed the consumption of pizzas, burgers, and other fast-food items.
Some kitchen spaces use AI tools and robotic arms to prepare customised meals for consumers while requiring a significantly low investment. This is expected to significantly increase the efficiency of cloud kitchens, further driving their popularity in India.
