The Indian consumer market is poised to grow 3.6 times between 2010 and 2020, faster than most other emerging markets.
Estimated at $991 billion in 2010, total consumption expenditure is expected to grow to nearly $3.6 trillion in 2020.
Food, housing and consumer durables and transport and communication are expected to be the top three categories, accounting for 65 per cent of consumption in 2020.
