The competitive retail landscape in India is driving retailers to offer promotions, discounts, and loyalty programs on snacks and treats. These incentives encourage consumer spending and increase the frequency of purchases.

The increasing number of pet-friendly retail environments in India, such as pet cafes and pet-centric stores, contributes to higher demand for snacks and treats. These environments often feature dedicated sections for pet products and promote a pet-inclusive shopping experience.
