By 2023, India imported approximately 176.0 million kilograms of barley. Forecasts indicate a steady compound annual growth rate of around 4% from 2024 to 2028. Yearly import volumes are anticipated to grow incrementally, nearing 216.2 million kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year growth remains relatively stable, underscoring India's continued reliance on barley imports.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Changes in domestic agricultural policies or incentives that might impact barley production.
- Global climate change impacts on barley producing regions that could alter supply chains.
- Shifts in consumer preferences toward alternative grains within the Indian market.
