THE GRAND INDIAN SHAADI ECONOMY

The Indian wedding economy is valued at $130 billion, growing at 25% annually

India hosts 8 to 10 million weddings each year. As the largest wedding destination globally, it combines glamour and culture, with destination weddings in luxury venues contributing significantly. The industry is nearly twice the size of the U.S. wedding market and ranks second in India's retail sector, following food. Indians typically spend double on weddings compared to education, with expenditures on jewelry, clothing, event management, catering, and entertainment, supporting luxury planners and designers in this thriving market.
