Farmley aims to double its revenue to US$72 to 84M in FY26 amid rising demand for nutritious snacks
The brand’s emphasis on quality, nutrition, and affordability has resonated with health-conscious consumers, especially as snacking habits shift toward functional and portable formats.
INDIA- Farmley, a leading healthy snacking brand, is expecting to nearly double its revenue to ₹600-700 crore (US $72–84 million) in the fiscal year 2025-26.
The company stated that its goal is fueled by the rising appetite for wholesome snacks, as highlighted during the Healthy Snacking Summit.
The Noida-headquartered startup, founded in 2017 by two alumni of the Indian Institute of Technology, reported a revenue of ₹370 crore (approximately US$42.88 million) in the previous fiscal year.
“We aim for ₹600-700 crore (US $72–84 million) revenue in the current fiscal with expansion of our presence in both offline and online channels,” the company’s CEO and co-founder Akash Sharma told PTI at a healthy snacking summit.
With a steadfast commitment to quality, nutrition, and affordability, Farmley’s products have resonated with health-conscious consumers, especially as snacking habits shift toward functional and portable formats.
Farmley is set to invest ₹40–50 crore (approximately US$4.64 to US$5.80 million) in establishing a new production facility near Noida, aiming to enhance its manufacturing capabilities. The plant is slated to begin operations next year, as the company targets profitability within the current fiscal period.
This move aims to improve manufacturing capacity and streamline supply chain operations primarily. The company also intends to achieve profitability in FY26, marking a pivotal milestone in its journey from startup to scale-up.
The firm’s product portfolio includes dried fruits, seeds, healthy snacks, savouries, and ready-to-eat mixes, focusing on quality, nutrition, and affordability.
A recent consumer survey commissioned by Farmley revealed compelling insights into India’s snacking preferences. Roasted and flavored dry fruits emerged as the top savory snack for 36% of respondents, followed by makhana, a type of puffed lotus seed, at 19%.
Additionally, over 55% of participants expressed a preference for snacks free from preservatives, while 52% favored resealable, eco-conscious packaging. Portable formats, such as dry fruit-based desserts and energy bars, were preferred by nearly 45%, underscoring the demand for convenience without compromising health.
Farmley is rapidly expanding its reach, with over 22,000 offline retail points and a growing international presence in markets such as the US, Canada, Singapore, and Dubai. Boosted by a $40 million Series C investment led by L Catterton, the brand is channelling resources into AI-powered personalisation, product innovation, and advanced food tech.
As India’s snacking industry nears ₹95,521.8 crore (US$11.07 billion) by 2032, Farmley’s farmer-to-consumer approach and strong sustainability focus place it at the forefront of the healthy snacking movement.
More than a numbers game, Farmley is redefining the way India consumes snacks while pursuing global growth and profitability.
