Why Is Demand In The Frozen Food Market Expected To Keep Rising?
The expansion of the frozen food market is anticipated to be propelled by consumers’ growing preference for convenience foods. These foods are pre-packaged or pre-made items designed for effortless and rapid consumption, demanding minimal cooking or preparation time. The heightened need for convenience foods stems from hectic modern lifestyles, increasing urbanization, and the desire for quick, simple meal solutions that do not sacrifice flavor or nutritional value. Frozen foods cater to this demand by providing ready-to-cook or ready-to-eat choices that cut down on preparation time and simplify meal creation. For example, in April 2024, the National Association of Convenience Stores, a US-based trade association, reported that in 2023, foodservice sales, encompassing prepared foods, commissary items, and dispensed beverages, constituted 26.9% of in-store sales, an increase from 25.6% in 2022. Furthermore, monthly sales of prepared foods per store saw a rise of 12.2% in 2023 compared to 2022. Consequently, the rising consumer appetite for convenience foods is a key factor driving the growth of the frozen food market.
