Indian Household Spending on Experiences Projected to Outpace Physical Goods by 2030
Indian households are projected to increase spending on experiences, such as travel, dining, and lifestyle hotels, at a faster rate than on physical goods between 2025 and 2030. Research by CBRE, citing Oxford Economics data, estimates experiential spending will grow at a 10.3% CAGR, compared to 9.1% for physical goods. The rise is driven largely by Gen Z consumers seeking unique, culturally immersive experiences, with hotel accommodation spending expected to grow at 10.6% CAGR. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated this shift, fueling pent-up demand since 2022.
