By the end of 2023 and 2024, the cloud kitchens market in India is projected to grow to USD 1 Bn from USD 400 mn in 2019 and reach USD 2 Bn by 2024, according to the India Brand Equity Foundation. Cloud kitchens offer no upfront investments, low operational costs including skilled manpower for food and beverage operators such as Quick Service Restaurants and start-ups in the industry. There are an estimated 3,500 cloud kitchens in India currently of various sizes which cater to a growing number of operators.
The advent of food hailing apps such as Swiggy, Zomato, etc. coupled with the short-term opportunities during the pandemic led lockdown created a whole lot of cloud kitchens across the country. While many of them have perished due to financial viability issues, a few of them have scaled despite odds.
