According to an article published in Down to Earth, over 61% of all deaths in India were due to lifestyle or non-communicable diseases (NCDs), in 2017. People even travel shorter distances on vehicles in spite of being able to walk or cycle to the destination, owing to growing use of transport.

These factors are expected to aid in growth of the market in the region over the forecast period.
