focusing on launching different product variants, which is propelling the market
growth. Along with this, the Government of India is introducing various training

practices. Furthermore, the expansion of organised distribution channels, such as
supermarkets, hypermarkets, convenience stores, and general stores, along with the
thriving e-commerce industry, is stimulating the market growth. Moreover, increasing
investments by key players in research and development (R&D) activities to improve
extraction processes are anticipated to drive the market further.
