UNTAPPED RURAL POTENTIAL
With the presence of about 650,000 villages inhabited by over 850 million consumers, the rural market in India accounts for 70% of the country’s overall population and contributes to around half of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) . This presents a huge, virtually untapped market for brands.
THE ASPIRATIONAL RURAL CONSUMER
MARKET OPPORTUNITY
Declining growth rates in urban markets due to market saturation is driving more and more brands towards exploring the untapped potential of the rural markets
Increased disposable income is encouraging rural customers to trade up in favour of the latest products and more expensive varients as opposed to entry level versions
Rural market consumption is growing at 1.5 times the rate in urban areas
Consumption patterns in the rural market are gradually changing to mirror those of urban markets
1/3rd of India’s largest consumer companies’ customer base already comprises of rural markets
Thus, favourable changes in rural consumption trends, coupled with the potential size and untapped nature of the rural markets present a major investment opportunity for a variety of brands.
