Other sectors in the F&B industry

Food delivery and E-commerce

Growing urbanization, growing population of the working class, internet, and smartphone usage, and lucrative offers and discounts by various food tech players such as Swiggy, Zomato, and Grofers have made the food-tech space grow by 35 times (in volume) during 2015- 20. The adoption of online grocery delivery has increased tremendously during the pandemic due to increased focus on health aspects and reliance on in-home cooking; geared more towards fresh food products. In addition to fixed menus served by food delivery apps (aggregators and kitchen services), consumers are also offered meal subscriptions and DIY meals that can be customized to meet their dietary requirements.

Other sectors in the F&B industry © BDB India Private Limited Conventional categories such as staples and fresh produce combined account for about 80%of total food retail spending, but the emerging snack, confectionery, and packaged beverage categories are proliferating at a compound rate of 15%. Growing health and wellness awareness is expected to shape consumer preferences across all categories increasingly. Online grocery retail in India has seen a CAGR of over 50% and is projected to grow from USD 10 billion to USD 12 billion by 2025.

F&B Warehousing Industry

There is tremendous growth in F&B warehousing. Experts predict it will grow by more than USD 210 billion through 2025, progressing at a CAGR of approximately 15%during the forecast period. Despite this growth, productivity in the warehousing and shortage industry dropped by 7.6 % in 2021.

Five challenges faced by the F&B warehousing industry are :-

India’s Cold Chain logistics market

The Indian cold chain logistics market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 14% during the forecast period 2020-2025. The demand for cold chains is driven by growth in sectors such as selling organizations. Retail, processed foods, pharmaceuticals, the growing shift to farming, and so on. Some of the market challenges are uneven distribution of cold storage capacity, lack of proper logistical support, and high capital investment needs. The Government of India is providing a lot of technological and financial support to promote the development of a cold chain for the horticultural and agricultural sectors. According to industry sources, the capital market is already fragmented with the presence of many smaller companies. Of all product categories, the dairy industry has the most developed cold chain in India. In terms of volume, more than half of the processing volume of traditional cold storage is for potatoes. Currently, there is a clear shift towards general-purpose hosting and value-added services that meet end-to-end needs. Under PMKSY, the government has sanctioned 348 Cold Chain projects.

Way Forward The Indian food processing industry holds tremendous growth potential and has gained further traction due to the pandemic. Going forward, India needs to recalibrate its strategy taking into account the opportunities created in both, domestic and export markets.

(a) Domestic demand The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increased acceptance of processed foods. Rural areas and Tier 2/3 cities are expected to continue to drive demand for processed foods. The healthy food, snacks, and RTE segments are likely to drive demand. The Hotel/Restaurant/Cafe (HoReCa) segment will play an important role as it recovers from the aftermath of COVID-19.

E-commerce and direct-to-consumer (D2C) are replacing traditional retail as manufacturers redistribute supply chains after COVID-19 and reach consumers at their doorsteps. The industry should move towards an organized structure. The PM FME program was launched to formalize unorganized micro-agents in the agri-food industry. This will accelerate the planned transition from an unorganized to an organized structure. Regional companies and national manufacturers offering products that cater for regional tastes have enjoyed greater success. Players with a national footprint and offering a wider range of products are likely to be more sustainable while competing with the local and unorganized segment.

(b)Exports India’s exports of processed food products remain low and continue to be dominated by low- value-added products. Furthermore, industry experts say that Indian products are not competitive in terms of price and quality in the export market. In the post-Covid19 era, India can become the food hub of the world and increase its share of exports. There is considerable potential to improve India’s exports to the world’s top 10 food markets, especially given its limited presence. Key segments with export potential include meat and seafood and dairy products. The need to develop the ability to export large-scale, quality and profitable requires global certification to keep the industry competitive. The Government of India can assist exporters by negotiating Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), lowering Non-Tariff Barriers (NTBs), and accelerating the implementation of the Duty-Free Scheme for Export Products (RoDTEP).

(c) Processing capacity and quality infrastructure The opportunities in national and international markets in the post-Covid19 era require significant improvement in the processing capacity of the agri-food sector at all levels of the value chain. The government of India has launched several programs to encourage processing capacity in the meat & seafood, dairy, and F&V segments.

The Production Linked scheme (PLI) has the potential to encourage businesses in the agricultural sector to build processing capacity and meet demand in the face of growing challenges. The Food processing industry is gearing up for the challenge and is likely to see enhanced investment in product expansion and geographical expansion. There is huge potential for complementary industries such as food ingredients, food processing equipment, food logistics, and food packaging. To enhance competitiveness and meet hygiene needs at a scale, stakeholders, especially MSMEs, will need high-quality testing and certification infrastructure.

(d)Technology Technology applications across the entire value chain can help reduce waste, maintain quality and improve the shelf life of food products. In a price-sensitive market dominated by small and unorganized players, technology has taken a back seat. There is a direct need to increase cold storage capacity without the scalability of perishable products can be challenging.

The food processing equipment market is generally dominated by imports, which is expected to increase demand. With the right interventions, this could translate into an opportunity for domestic industry to match India’s mandate for Atmanirbharta or self-sufficiency. Digitized supply chains, smart warehousing, and Industry 4.0 logistics can help India reduce waste during storage and transportation. Smart supply chain management systems can help reduce the waste of perishables.

(e) Institutional structure A coordinated approach is the need of the hour for the development of all segments of the food processing industry taking into account opportunities in regional preference, exports, quality management systems and measures to enhance the competitiveness of Indian products. Inter-Ministerial Body led by MOFPI and participation from APEDA, MPEDA, and FSSAI supported by a Food Processing Council (consisting of Industry representatives) can prove to be a catalyst in the future industry development at the segment/ product level, tapping value-added exports and addressing issues and challenges– infrastructure bottlenecks, quality bottlenecks etc.

(f) Driving growth through innovation Food and food tech start-ups have achieved a CAGR of over 35% since 2014. Most of the startups are either in the agri-tech domain or food retail & service domain with very few in the middle layer of processing.

A thriving ecosystem for food processing start-ups is key to driving food innovation and driving industry growth. Innovative products focusing on health care, health, and nutrition will have great opportunities in the domestic market.

During and after the pandemic, many companies have innovated and launched new products that cater to traditional and new cuisines that cater to regional tastes. Some of the areas where start-ups can play a role in driving innovative solutions include product innovation, shelf life improvement solutions, smart supply chains, logistics, and warehousing. To succeed, startups will need industry support to generate enough demand for building scalable solutions.

Looking to Innovate Healthcare? Discover the Role of Technology Development Companies

Technology has become integral to almost every industry, even including healthcare, in today's world of gadgets and gizmos. Technology development companies, especially those focused on healthcare, play a key role in driving innovation and advantageously altering the healthcare delivery. In this blog post, we will throw some light and also talk in depth about the role of healthcare technology development companies and startups in innovating and revolutionising the healthcare industry.

Streamlining Healthcare Operations

One of the prominent contributions of healthcare technology development companies is streamlining healthcare operations. These companies leverage their software development and technology solutions expertise to create platforms and applications that automate manual processes, simplify administrative tasks, and improve overall operational efficiency. By digitising and integrating various healthcare systems, they enable seamless information flow, reduce paperwork, and enhance collaboration among healthcare providers.

Enhancing Patient Care and Engagement

Technology development companies are instrumental in enhancing patient care and engagement. They develop innovative solutions that empower patients to participate actively in their healthcare journey. Patients can access their medical records, schedule appointments, receive personalised health information, and even monitor their health in real time through patient portals, mobile applications, and wearable devices. These technologies improve patient engagement and enable healthcare providers to deliver personalised care and make data-driven decisions.

Leveraging Emerging Technologies

Healthcare technology startups are known for leveraging emerging technologies to drive innovation in the industry. They explore and harness the potential of technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), blockchain, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to develop advanced healthcare solutions. For instance, AI and ML algorithms can analyse vast amounts of healthcare data to identify patterns, predict diseases, and assist in diagnosis. Blockchain technology ensures secure and tamper-proof patient data storage, while IoT devices enable remote patient monitoring and real-time data collection.

Enabling Telehealth and Remote Care

Healthcare technology development companies have greatly facilitated the recent telehealth and remote care surge. These companies have developed telehealth platforms and applications that allow patients and healthcare providers to connect virtually, eliminating geographical barriers and improving access to healthcare services. Telehealth solutions enable remote consultations, remote monitoring of patients' vital signs, and care delivery in underserved areas. This technology-driven shift has revolutionised healthcare delivery and opened new avenues for patient care.

Driving Data Security and Privacy

With the digitisation of healthcare data, ensuring data security and privacy has become paramount. Healthcare technology development companies are at the forefront of developing solutions that address these concerns. They implement robust security measures, such as encryption, access controls, and regular security audits, to safeguard patient data from unauthorised access and breaches. By prioritising data security and privacy, these companies instil confidence in patients and healthcare organisations to embrace digital healthcare solutions.

Summing up, the healthcare technology development companies and startups are the pre-cursors in driving innovation and transforming the healthcare industry in a forward direction. Companies like these are paving the way for a digital and patient-centric healthcare landscape through their expertise in streamlining operations, enhancing patient care and engagement, leveraging emerging technologies, enabling telehealth and remote care, and driving data security and privacy.

What is the role of a healthcare digital marketing agency?

A healthcare digital marketing agency plays a vital role in helping healthcare providers and organizations effectively navigate the digital landscape, establish their online presence, and connect with patients. Here’s an overview of the key responsibilities and functions of a healthcare digital marketing agency:

Strategic Planning and Consulting: A healthcare digital marketing agency works closely with healthcare providers to develop strategic plans tailored to their specific goals and target audience. They analyze the current market trends, competitors, and patient preferences to create a comprehensive digital marketing strategy that aligns with the provider’s objectives.

Website Development and Optimization: An agency assists in building or enhancing a healthcare provider’s website to ensure it reflects their brand image and offers a user-friendly experience. They optimize the website for search engines, implement effective navigation, and integrate necessary features like appointment scheduling, contact forms, and patient portals.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO): Healthcare digital marketing agencies focus on improving the online visibility of healthcare providers through SEO techniques. They conduct keyword research, optimize website content, improve page load speeds, and enhance the website structure to help the provider’s website rank higher in search engine results pages. This increases organic traffic and patient engagement.

Content Creation and Marketing: Content marketing is an integral part of digital marketing for healthcare. An agency develops informative and engaging content, including blog articles, infographics, videos, and patient success stories, to establish the provider as an authority in their field. They ensure the content aligns with patients’ needs, answers their queries, and educates them about relevant healthcare topics.

Social Media Management: Healthcare digital marketing agencies manage healthcare providers’ social media presence across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn. They create and curate content, engage with followers, respond to comments and inquiries, and build a community around the provider’s brand. Social media campaigns are developed to increase brand awareness, promote services, and foster patient engagement.

Paid Advertising Campaigns: Agencies develop and manage paid advertising campaigns on platforms like Google Ads, Facebook Ads, and Instagram Ads. They create targeted ads to reach specific patient demographics, increase visibility, and drive traffic to the provider’s website. Agencies monitor ad performance, adjust strategies based on data insights, and optimize campaigns for maximum effectiveness.

Online Reputation Management: Maintaining a positive online reputation is crucial in healthcare. A healthcare digital marketing agency monitors and manages online reviews, ratings, and comments about the provider. They respond to patient feedback, address concerns, and highlight positive patient experiences. Reputation management strategies help build trust and credibility for the provider.

Analytics and Reporting: Agencies track and analyze the performance of digital marketing campaigns using analytics tools. They provide detailed reports on key performance indicators (KPIs), such as website traffic, conversion rates, social media engagement, and ad performance. These insights help healthcare providers assess the effectiveness of their digital marketing efforts and make data-driven decisions.

Compliance and Privacy: Healthcare digital marketing agencies are knowledgeable about the legal and regulatory aspects of healthcare marketing, including patient privacy and data protection. They ensure compliance with laws such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), safeguarding patient information in all marketing activities.

In summary, a healthcare digital marketing agency serves as a strategic partner for healthcare providers, helping them navigate the digital landscape, enhance their online presence, and effectively connect with patients. Through a range of services including website development, SEO, content marketing, social media management, and paid advertising, agencies work to achieve the provider’s goals while adhering to compliance regulations and ensuring a positive patient experience.

Interactive engagement: Social media offers patients a two-way communication channel where they can ask questions and receive immediate feedback from healthcare providers. This interactive engagement can lead to a deeper understanding of health-related issues and improved health outcomes.

Reach a wider audience: Social media allows healthcare providers to reach a broader audience beyond their local community. This can be particularly useful in reaching underserved populations who may have limited access to healthcare information and resources.

Getting the benefit of effective visual content: Social media platforms like Instagram and YouTube offer opportunities to use visuals such as videos, images, and infographics to explain complex medical concepts in a more engaging and easily understandable way.

Overall, social media can be an effective tool in connecting with patients as it offers healthcare providers a unique platform to share information, engage with patients, and reach a wider audience.

How social media is changing Healthcare?

Nonetheless, the healthcare sector — which includes drug and device makers as well as hospitals, health systems, and physicians — is finding it more and more difficult to avoid using social media for business purposes.

Social media is thereby altering healthcare by bringing following changes in the society:
