Indian Restaurant Industry | What’s On Your Menu?

The Indian restaurant industry is worth Rs.75,000 crores and is growing at an annual rate of 7%. The industry is highly fragmented with 1.5 million eating outlets, of which a little more than 3,000 outlets form the organized segment. However, the organized segment is rapidly growing at an annual rate of 16%. Quick service segment is the clear winner in the eating out market with a growth rate of 21%.

Organized Segment is expected to reach Rs.22,000  crore by 2017, driven by:

  • Rising disposable income
  • Nuclear family structure
  • Increasing working population
  • Rapid urbanization and consumerism
  • Increased private equity interest
 Segment Market Size (Rs Cr) Expected Growth Rate
 Quick service Resturants 4675 21.5%
 Casual dining 2365 11.9%
 Cafes 1265 12.3%
 Fine dining 1045 12.0%
 Pubs, bars, clubs and lounges 963 11.0%

"Indians on an average eat out lesser than 2 times a month, compared to 40 times in Singapore. Even a small increase in this number   provides a huge market opportunity for restaurants in India."
