Indian consumer behavior shifts among Gen Z

Overview

India is experiencing shifts in consumer behavior driven largely by the Gen Z demographic and changing health trends. In the food and beverage sector, the massive Gen Z population is demanding greater transparency and authenticity. Additionally, the use of GLP-1 medications in major cities is altering eating habits, with users consuming smaller portions and becoming more deliberate about nutrition and ingredient quality.

In the hospitality sector, Gen Z is also reshaping alcohol consumption. Moving away from the social taboos experienced by previous generations, this demographic treats alcohol consumption as an expression of individual taste and personal preference, focusing on tasting notes and social context.
