Its size is expected to increase from $69.81 billion in 2025 to $73.04 billion in 2026, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6%.

Leading companies within the frozen-potato market are prioritizing the creation of frozen fries specifically adapted for air fryers, aiming to boost convenience and promote healthier cooking methods. These air-fryer-optimised fries are frozen potato items meticulously designed to achieve a crispy, restaurant-quality texture when prepared using hot circulating air, allowing for swift cooking with reduced oil and lower fat levels. As an example, in April 2024, McCain Foods Limited, a Canada-based frozen food company and the world’s largest producer of frozen potato products, introduced its Air Fryer range to the UK. This particular product line, expressly formulated for air fryers, includes deep ridge crinkle fries which cook in approximately eight minutes and French fries ready in about five minutes, ensuring a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior with minimal preparation. This Air Fryer range enhances the ease of preparing meals at home, provides a more wholesome alternative to deep frying, and addresses the increasing consumer appetite for quick, crispy, restaurant-like snacks prepared domestically.
