A significant boom in the discretionary spending has been observed once it crosses $2,000 in other countries,” the report said citing China, Russia, and Brazil. 1 These countries have witnessed the tremendous growth in their consumption post this inflexion point. India has tipped this inflexion point in 2018. It will be interesting to observe how India’s consumption will grow in the near future. Similarly, other indicators like urbanization, inflation, CPI etc affects the consumption behaviour in different industries. India is a consumption driven economy. An increase in income shifts the spending patterns of the consumer from essential goods to discretionary goods. The surge in the discretionary spending will impact industries such as food and beverages, clothing and footwear, household goods, education, transport, communications. Healthcare, real estate, hotel, leisure, alcohol and tobacco. Our study will mainly circumscribe the above mentioned industries.
