  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   IN2024-0064
This report explores India’s Hotel, Restaurant, and Institutional (HRI) sector with an overview of the industry’s growth, key players, and market trends. Key factors driving expansion include urbanization, rising incomes, and an increasingly consumer base drawn to diverse culinary experiences and luxury travel. The report outlines competitive challenges for U.S. exporters, such as cost sensitivity, regulatory hurdles, and strong regional competition, yet identifies promising opportunities for U.S. food products like tree nuts, fresh fruits, wines, and processed foods. While demand for premium and health-focused products is high, long-term success will depend on strategic positioning and aligning with local preferences.
