Major Driver In The Gourmet Salt Market
The growth of the gourmet salt market is driven by the escalating demand for processed food products. Processed food, altered during preparation through methods like freezing, canning, or baking, requires extended shelf life, making gourmet salt a crucial preservative. The Ministry of Food Processing Industries of India, in April 2022, approved investment proposals from 119 processed foods companies under the Production Linked Incentive Scheme For Food Processing Industry (PLISFPI), aiming to boost the domestic growth of processed food items. As the demand for processed food products increases, the need for gourmet salt rises in tandem, leading to the growth of the gourmet salt market. The market sizes in 2023, 2024, and 2028 are reflective of this correlation.
