Bigbasket says huge surge in organic juice demand this summer

A Bigbasket survey has revealed that the online supermarket – one of the largest in India – has seen an 86 per cent increase in demand for organic juices and Ayurvedic drinks this summer.
The survey concludes that there seems to be a clear shift to healthier and natural thirst quenchers in beverages that customers buy as sales for carbonated beverages have comparatively grown by a much lower percentage.
“Our survey shows that customers are becoming more and more health conscious and are moving from traditional soft drinks to healthier organic and ayurvedic juices,” Co-founder Bigbasket, Vipul Parekh said in a statement.
“Health is always everyone’s priority and organic food, healthy diet and supplements are some important daily needs,” he added.
Grocery orders on Bigbasket increased by 29 per cent during the start of the summer season as compared to winter. This reflects the trend of people preferring to order groceries online during the summer than go to a nearby shop, simply to avoid the sweltering heat.
