India’s festive retail demand tilts premium as mass-market spending stays muted
Amazon, Flipkart and consumer-goods companies are seeing stronger demand for premium festive products, even as geopolitical costs pressure inputs and logistics. Premium orders are projected to rise 20–25% year on year, while entry-level appliances and TVs are expected to grow just 4–5%.
Indian festive consumption is expected to remain resilient despite war-linked input and logistics costs, with shoppers increasingly trading up to premium products. Amazon, Flipkart and consumer companies report stronger premium demand, while mass-market demand remains muted and companies limit price pass-throughs.
