Progressive Grocer Magazine - May 2023

In this issue

At a time when competitive intensity is heating up in every sphere of business, Grocery Retailers and Food Brands are scrambling to grab the consumer “share of stomach” alongside their mindshare and wallet share.

In the past issue of Progressive Grocer, we highlighted how the beverage category is seeing the entry of many new players as well as the broadening of its consumer base. With a surge in innovation and product drops, national and regional brands are attempting to create a niche market for themselves by targeting different consumer segments and offering unique differentiation. In this issue, we take another approach to the sector through a report that highlights how retailers can double their income from higher sales of beverages. The report drills down to the policy details conducive for the beverage sector and the changes that policymakers can bring about to make India the beverage capital of the world. (see pages 18–22).
