Bangladesh Frozen Food Market - Growth, Trends and Forecast (2020 - 2025)

A rise in the demand for all forms of convenience food and beverage products is being witnessed, owing to busy lifestyles and an increasing number of the working population in Bangladesh. The changing food consumption pattern in consumers, due to the rapid expansion of urbanization and rise in disposable incomes in the country, is one of the factors contributing to the growth of ready-to-food and beverage products. Owing to the increased demand for frozen food, leading companies, like Golden Harvest and Pran, are opting for the expansion strategy to expand their market presence and consumer bases. Frozen fruit and vegetable products are perceived to be healthy by the local consumers, as they contain more nutrients than preserved food products.

Frozen food sold through online retail represents a small segment of the market, but is expected to be among the fastest-growing segments. The urban population in Dhaka and other parts of Bangladesh have slowly started preferring online channels, as it is hassle-free, convenient, less time-consuming, and consumers get a larger variety of goods to choose from. E-commerce players, like Chaldal, Parmeeda, Priyoshop, Shwapno, Othoba, Daraz, etc., are some of the major players in the Bangladeshi market. Many online channels provide an option for same-day delivery, which increases their brand value, thereby increasing the market penetration.
