DUBLIN, Feb. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The “India Loyalty Programs Market Intelligence and Future Growth Dynamics Databook – 50+ KPIs on Loyalty Programs Trends by End-Use Sectors, Operational KPIs, Retail Product Dynamics, and Consumer Demographics – Q1 2024 Update” report has been added to  ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The loyalty market in India is expected to grow to US$5.37 billion in 2024. In value terms, the loyalty market in the country has recorded a CAGR of 13.5% during 2019-2023. The loyalty market in the country will continue to grow over the forecast period and is expected to record a CAGR of 10.5% during 2024-2028. The loyalty market in India will further increase from US$4.79 billion in 2023 to reach US$8.02 billion by 2028.

The Indian loyalty programs market is poised for accelerated growth over the medium term in India. Rising consumption and income levels of the consumers will support the market growth. The industry will also receive growth support from the flourishing startup ecosystem in India. Digitalization, on the other, is expected to aid innovation and the competitive landscape in the sector.

Many new-age startups are tweaking their loyalty programs to boost adoption among Indian consumers. The trend is projected to continue further over the medium term in the Indian market. The publisher also expects innovation to grow in the Web3 loyalty programs market in 2024. Overall, the publisher maintains a robust growth outlook for the loyalty programs industry in India over the next three to four years.

Firms are tweaking their loyalty programs to boost adoption and increase market share in India

The food delivery sector is growing at a rapid rate in India and the market is poised to grow even further over the medium term. To tap into the fast-growing sector, firms are adopting different strategies to increase their market share.

Swiggy, for instance, launched a cheaper version of its existing loyalty program to boost adoption among consumers. The new and affordable loyalty program, launched in October 2023, is already showing its effect with the firm garnering higher market share against rival Zomato. According to a report from IIFL Securities, Swiggy gained marginal market share compared to Zomato in 1HCY23, potentially due to the aggressive pricing of its revamped loyalty program and higher promotions.

The growing competition in the sector will lead to further innovation in loyalty programs, aiding the competitive landscape and adoption among consumers over the medium term. This will subsequently support the growth of the loyalty programs market in India over the next three to four years.

Firms are launching new loyalty and reward products to strengthen their foothold in India

The spending power of Indian consumers is poised to grow significantly over the next few years. This is prompting many global brands to launch new loyalty and reward products in the Indian market.

American Express, in December 2023, announced the launch of the Reward Xcelerator program in India. The initiative, which offers Platinum Charge card members to earn higher rewards across premium brands, is aimed at strengthening the firm’s membership rewards program in the Indian market. Through the Reward Xcelerator program, American Express cardholders can boost the rewards they earn, whether they’re shopping in-store or online. Plus, they have the freedom to redeem those rewards whenever it suits them.

Alongside global firms, domestic players are launching new and innovative products to strengthen their foothold in the Indian loyalty programs market. Zillion, the multi-brand loyalty programs firm, launched the Rewards-as-a-Service platform for brands in January 2024. With this, Zillion is targeting to onboard banks and large corporations, including those with extensive distribution networks. These innovative product launches are expected to drive the competitive landscape in the Indian loyalty programs industry over the medium term.

E-commerce firms are looking to scale their loyalty programs in the Indian market in 2024

Amid the higher adoption of loyalty programs among Indian consumers, firms across sectors are planning to scale their offerings to drive future business growth. This trend is also emerging in the Indian e-commerce market, which is set to grow at an accelerated pace over the next three to four years.

Polygon Labs, in December 2023, revealed that Flipkart is planning to integrate CDK-deployed Layer 2 chain to boost FireDrops. Notably, FireDrops is a Web3 loyalty program that was launched by the e-commerce giant in 2023. Since its launch, the loyalty program has garnered widespread popularity among young Indian shoppers, with 3 million active wallets. With the new development in partnership with Polygon Labs, Flipkart is aiming to build an Ethereum-based zero-knowledge (ZK) L2 network to drive future growth.

Going forward, more such strategic collaborations are expected, aiding innovation in the Web3 loyalty programs sector. This will support the growth of the loyalty program market in India over the next three to four years.

Crab2B Makes AsiaWorld-Expo Debut, Connecting Hong Kong’s Mobile Wholesalers with Global Buyers

Published

HONG KONG, Oct. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Crab2B, a pioneering B2B trading platform dedicated to mobile devices and digital products, will make its debut at the HKICEC Global Mobile Exchange Pavilion during the Global Sources Hong Kong Shows, opening at AsiaWorld-Expo on October 18, 2026.

Hong Kong has long been a major hub for electronics wholesale trade, but buyers still often rely on fragmented channels to identify suppliers. Crab2B was created to bridge this gap, bringing Hong Kong-based mobile and digital product wholesalers together on one dedicated B2B platform. Headquartered in Hong Kong, Crab2B combines the manufacturing strength of mainland China and the Greater Bay Area’s extensive supply chain capabilities with Hong Kong’s established global trading network. Together, these strengths enable Crab2B to simplify cross-border sourcing, connect buyers directly with suppliers and make international trade more accessible and efficient.

For its first appearance at a major industry trade show, Crab2B is bringing together more than 200 merchants already registered on the platform, marking a significant milestone in its development. The Crab2B booth is expected to attract electronics traders from Southeast Asia, Europe, the Middle East and beyond. Visitors will be able to discover the app’s capabilities through live demonstrations, register on the platform and connect directly with participating merchants to explore business opportunities.

A buyer who experienced the Crab2B app shared: “With Crab2B, we no longer have to search far and wide for reliable suppliers. The platform brings Hong Kong’s mobile phone wholesalers together in one place, giving us greater visibility into available products and sourcing opportunities. Whether I’m at my desk or on the move, I can find products and connect with suppliers whenever I need to. For businesses like ours that source across borders, that kind of access makes a real difference. It saves time, reduces transaction costs and helps us do business more efficiently.”

Crab2B CEO Luo Yaohong said, “We want to be pioneers in cross-border B2B trading for digital products, creating new opportunities for Hong Kong’s wholesale industry. As Hong Kong places greater emphasis on developing digital trade, we’re addressing a longstanding gap in the market with a dedicated digital platform that connects Hong Kong’s electronics suppliers directly with buyers around the world. Our ambition is to make cross-border trading easier, faster and more accessible, while helping Hong Kong businesses reach new markets.”

The platform’s trade show debut is also attracting attention from international merchants, with exhibitors expressing interest in joining Crab2B to expand their reach into overseas markets. Meanwhile, merchants already registered on the platform are looking forward to the launch of its planned online marketplace, which will create further opportunities for sustained collaboration and business growth.

Building on this debut, Crab2B will remain firmly rooted in Hong Kong while expanding its connections with businesses around the world. The company will continue to enhance its platform with smarter sourcing tools, more comprehensive trading capabilities and an increasingly connected network of suppliers and buyers. By making it easier to discover products, establish business relationships and conduct cross-border transactions, Crab2B aims to open new opportunities for merchants of all sizes and help shape the next chapter of Hong Kong’s digital trade industry.

Bioethanol from human hair – Indian start-up’s solution to rising prices of grains and sugar

Published

7 hours ago

October 18, 2026

By

GUJARAT, India, Oct. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In what could be called the beginning of the 5G (fifth-generation) of bioethanol or non-cellulosic bioethanol or non-sugar-based biofuels, an Indian start-up, Techofest Global, based out of Gujarat, has developed its own, indigenous, and patented technology for the production of bioethanol from waste human hair. Such processes would significantly reduce the employment of sugars, grains, and agricultural residues, which form the classical first- and second-generation bioethanol feedstocks. As a result, the rising fuel-vs.-food/fodder debate is anticipated to reduce, and instead, ethanol produced from municipal/industrial waste, after trials, can supplement the current supply being used as blends with presently retailed fossil fuels (E20, E27, etc.). 

As stated by Dr. Ravi, the founder-CEO of Techofest Global, the strategic priority and the USP of the start-up is industrial symbiosis, which, typically, involves an ecosystem of up-cycling/valorising the effluents of an industry, thereby creating a value-chain for residues often lacking an end-of-life. With more than three decades of experience in designing customized nuclear fusion reactors for international programmes, such as ITER, JET/UKAEA and SST-1, Dr. Ravi, a seasoned mechanical engineer, spearheads the start-up’s patented technologies’ scale-up and commercialization.

Two biochemical engineers, Dr. Navnit – the former CTO, and Dr. Kabilan – the former CEO of Biomakerz, Chennai, are the brains behind the current technology/process portfolio of the joint-venture between Techofest Global and Biomakerz. They have been working on biorefineries’ process intensification for more than a decade. “Having foreseen the fuel-vs-fodder/food competition as early as the year 2015, we began developing techno-economically feasible and viable in-vitro metabolically-engineered bioprocesses for scaling-up ethanol production from municipal waste streams between 2019–2021”, says Navnit. After developing operational technologies for international biofuel organizations, serving process engineer roles with certain biorefineries-related OMC R&D’s of India, Dr. Navnit, presently works for a premier academic institution.

An on-going fermentation trial at the Techofest Global-Biomakerz JV’s R&D facility

Techofest Global has developed and tested, in its R&D JV’s pilot-facility of ~100-L, 3 innovative and cost-effective technologies, such as 5G ethanol production using human hair, used cooking oil (UCO), and enriched bio-methane production from disposed sanitary napkins.

“With massive CapEx and OpEx, 2G ethanol technology is facing a major commercialization bottleneck, owing to competition with food/livestock fodder, requirement of a cost-intensive pre-treatment procedure, and the requirement of cellulolytic cocktails, which have a poor recycle efficiency. The proprietary 5G SAFE process developed for the start-up circumvents the mentioned constraints, and instead, utilizes a single-stage saccharification followed by fermentation, and records over 85–90% biocatalyst recovery. Likewise, the proprietary SIM process for bio-methane production, exclusively developed for the start-up, is 2x faster with improved intermittent feeding cycles and continuous gas harvest”, says Navnit.

“With on-going pre-commercialization trials, the proprietary ethanol and bio-methane processes of ours are soon being commercialized”, says Ms. Bhumika, the co-founder and the corporate advisor of the start-up. Furthermore, Mr. Ronak pilots the organization’s global market entry and commercialization frontier.

Techofest Global’s veteran Principal Technology Advisors include: Dr VS Tripathi, former Joint Director, DRDE Gwalior, Dr B S Munjal, former Director, Structures and Thermal group, SAC/ISRO, Academician and Advisor CIKS-Dharohar, GTU, and Dr AV Santhanababu, former Scientist at Satish Dhawan Space Centre. With on-going R&D activities, Dr. Munjal says, “the start-up is striving to provide a unique solution along the lines of the Atmanirbhar and Viksit Bharat Vision 2047”.
