In 2023, India’s pork calorie supply per capita was notably low, reflecting a minor presence of pork in the national diet. Forecast data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a decline from 1.9 to 1.7 kilocalories per capita per day, signaling a gradual decrease in pork consumption. Year-on-year, this reflects a modest decline each year, with the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over these five years showing a negative trend.

Future Trends to Watch For:

Increasing popularity of alternative protein sources, which might further influence the decline in pork consumption.
Potential policy or health initiatives promoting diversified dietary habits could alter these projections.
Economic shifts impacting pork affordability and accessibility may also play a critical role.
