Market Trends of Frozen Food Industry

Surge In Demand For Ready Meals

Globally, the demand for convenient and instant food, particularly ready-to-eat products, is growing faster. This can be attributed to changes in social and economic patterns, increased expenditure on food and beverage, awareness about healthy food, changes in meal patterns and existing food habits, growing ex-pat settlement population across the regions, and the desire to taste new products. Moreover, the on-the-go food concept is closely associated with easy consumption and handling of products, which ready meals can offer. Thus, the demand for frozen food products is increasing due to the linked convenience of consumption and aided by disposable packaging simultaneously. Similarly, these frozen ready meals require minimum or no further preparation before consumption. With technological innovations in the food industry, convenience food includes ready meals in frozen, portion-controlled, shelf-stable, microwaveable, and prepared-mixes formats. Besides this, to cater to the consumers' demand for shelf-stability and convenience, manufacturers are innovating in formulation, which may be carried everywhere without spilling and has a long shelf life.
