Fresh cream refers to a dairy product that is typically produced by segregating milk fat from whole milk. It is a thick, rich, and indulgent substance that is widely used in a variety of sweet and savory dishes. Fresh cream is often used in cooking and baking, as it adds richness, creaminess, and flavor to dishes, since it has a mild, slightly sweet taste that is not overpowering. Fresh cream is typically composed of 30-40% milk fat and is characterized by its velvety smooth texture, and distinctive white color, which has a slight yellowish tinge. Fresh cream is easy to whip and incorporate into numerous recipes, making it a versatile ingredient that can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. In addition to this, it is a rich source of calcium, fat, vitamin A, D and E, and phosphorus. As a result, fresh cream is extensively utilized as a base for sauces, or as a topping for desserts, or as a thickener for soups and stews.

The expansion of the food and beverage (F&B) industry in India is acting as a significant factor driving the market. This can be attributed to the escalating demand for processed and packaged foods, wherein fresh cream is an essential ingredient. With the increasingly hectic lifestyles of the masses, consumers are opting for convenience food products requiring less preparation effort and time, thereby propelling the product demand. Additionally, the increasing health consciousness among consumers has led to a heightened demand for healthier alternatives to conventional high-fat ingredients, leading to increased product sales. Also, the growth of the hospitality industry in India, fueled by increasing tourism and business travel, is driving the demand for fresh cream as a key ingredient in many dishes served in restaurants and hotels. The market in India is further driven by the easy availability of high-quality raw materials at affordable prices, thereby making fresh cream production possible at competitive prices. Apart from this, the emerging trend of organic and natural food consumption is resulting in the higher sales of premium and organic product variants, which is creating lucrative growth opportunities in the market. Moreover, widespread product availability across online and offline organized retail channels is creating a positive market outlook. Furthermore, innovative marketing strategies adopted by major market players, such as advertisements, celebrity endorsements and attractive packaging are also providing an impetus to the market. Some of the other factors contributing to the market include rapid urbanization, inflating disposable income levels of the consumers, growing exposure to international cuisines and extensive research and development (R&D) activities.
