Emami Targets INR 2,000 Crore from HoReCa & Foodservices

Emami Agrotech recently launched a range for the HoReCa (Hotels, Restaurants and Catering) and B2B foodservice segment.

The Company aims to build a strong presence in this segment and targets a turnover of INR 2,000 crore from the HoReCa business over the next two to three years.

Curated specifically for HoReCa and foodservice partners, the new range is designed to meet the demanding requirements of professional kitchens where quality, consistency and performance are non-negotiable.

Through this initiative, Emami Agro is strengthening its presence in the HoReCa and institutional segment, a large and fast-growing consumption ecosystem that offers significant business potential for quality food ingredients and bulk supply solutions.

As per Market Research Future analysis, the India Horeca Market size was estimated at 250.22 USD Billion in 2024. The Horeca market is projected to grow from 267.43 USD Billion in 2025 to 520.0 USD Billion by 2035, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8 per cent during the forecast period 2025 – 2035.

Jayant Goenka, Director, Emami Group said, “The HoReCa sector represents a large and rapidly expanding consumption ecosystem with significant business potential. With the launch of our ‘Healthy & Tasty – FOR CHEF’ range, we are strengthening our focus beyond retail. Our portfolio – ranging from high-performance edible oils to essential pantry ingredients such as fresh chakki atta, maida and spices is designed to support chefs and foodservice partners in delivering excellence at scale.”

The Indian HoReCa market is undergoing a dynamic transformation, fueled by shifting consumer preferences and rapid technological adoption. Rising urbanization and disposable incomes are driving demand for diverse dining experiences, with consumers increasingly prioritizing convenience, quality, and distinctive culinary offerings. This has sparked a surge in restaurants, cafés, and catering services across both urban and semi-urban landscapes. At the same time, digital integration, ranging from online ordering to contactless payments, is redefining customer engagement, streamlining operations, and elevating service efficiency.

Introduced under the Company’s flagship Healthy & Tasty umbrella brand, “FOR CHEF” features multiple variants of edible oils along with essential pantry ingredients. The company also plans to expand its ‘FOR CHEF’ portfolio by introducing sauces, condiments, ready to cook and ready to eat products in the next few months.

Samantha Dutta, Senior Vice President, Food Services, QSR, MT and Alternate Channels, said, “Our ‘FOR CHEF’ portfolio reflects our commitment to enabling professional kitchens with products that are not only high in quality but also aligned with evolving customer needs. Our focus is on delivering tailor-made solutions that enhance operational efficiency, support menu innovation, and ultimately drive business growth for our valued partners.”

With a robust growth forecast, the HoReCa sector remains a vital contributor to India’s economy, signaling a dynamic evolution in consumer behavior and preferences.
