The gutka market in India, once a significant segment of the FMCG sector, has declined due to regulatory restrictions and rising health awareness. However, demand persists in unregulated markets, highlighting potential for niche product innovation.
In contrast, India’s real estate market is booming, driven by urbanization, government initiatives like PMAY, and demand for affordable and luxury housing. With rising investments and evolving infrastructure, real estate offers immense growth opportunities, especially in Tier 2 and 3 cities.
India’s trading sector remains vital, contributing significantly to GDP. International trade is expanding with diversified imports and exports, supported by favorable trade policies. The future lies in technology-driven trading platforms and sustainable practices, offering lucrative opportunities for businesses.
