Religious and spiritual practices involve one to connect to a higher being, a belief, or one’s own self via rituals, prayers, meditation, or ethics. India is a country of religious and spiritual market that has been expanding due to these things: strong cultural traditions, more people taking part in festivals and rituals, more money being spent on pooja products and spiritual tourism, online puja platforms becoming more popular, demand for eco-friendly products, government policies that are supportive and so on.
Key Growth Drivers and Opportunities
Rising Disposable Incomes: A rise in disposable incomes is stimulating the demand for luxurious religious and spiritual products and services such as luxury pooja items, customized kits, eco-friendly idols, and spiritual tourism resulting in an increase in the market by satisfying the needs of both traditional and modern consumer preferences.
Challenges
India’s religious and spiritual market is subject to certain restrictions that range from regional and cultural differences, reliance on seasonal festivals, low awareness of eco-friendly or modern products in some areas, as well as difficulties in accessing rural consumers, which might result in a ceiling of the overall market expansion.
