Trends
The rising importance of clean-label ingredients is the primary trend shaping market growth. Clean-label ingredients are those that are minimally processed and do not contain any artificial additives or preservatives. Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the impact that their food choices have on their health and are seeking out products that are made with natural, wholesome ingredients. Furthermore, to meet the demand for clean-label frozen food, many manufacturers are reformulating their products to include natural ingredients and removing artificial additives.
In addition, some manufacturers are also using alternative protein sources, such as tofu or plant-based meats, to appeal to consumers who are looking for meat-free options. Overall, the trend toward clean-label frozen food in Europe is expected to continue to grow as consumers become more health-conscious and environmentally aware. Hence, the rising importance of clean-label ingredients boosts the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Challenge
Health risks associated with the consumption of frozen ready meals is the major challenge impeding the market growth. Processed foods that have been frozen are kept at a low temperature to extend their shelf life and prevent spoiling. Cheaper ingredients are frequently used in place of healthy ones by manufacturers of frozen foods. For instance, nutrition-dense olive oil is often substituted with less effective rapeseed oil, which results in the loss of antioxidants present in frozen foods.
Moreover, consuming frozen-ready meals frequently leads to obesity, diabetes, dementia, and renal disease. The frequent consumption of frozen food also puts consumers at risk of developing high blood pressure and other health-related problems. Thus, increased consumer awareness regarding frozen food will hamper the growth of the Europe frozen food market during the forecast period.
Europe Frozen Food Market Segmentation by Product
Frozen ready meals are complete meals that do not require additional ingredients. The frozen ready meals segment comprises frozen pizza, frozen pasta, frozen croissants, frozen Asian meals, frozen rice bowls, frozen noodle bowls, frozen crispy pancakes, and frozen pies, among other products. Furthermore, prominent market players offering frozen-ready meals globally include Nomad Foods, Tyson Foods, and others. Frozen ready meals are increasingly popular in countries such as the UK, France, and Spain. Packaging innovations and increasing new product launches are anticipated to drive the growth of the frozen ready-meal segment of the Europe - frozen food market during the forecast period.
Europe Frozen Food Market Segmentation by Distribution Channel
The market share growth by the offline segment will be significant during the forecast period. In Europe, there has been a premiumization of the frozen food market, with consumers willing to pay more for premium, all-natural, and organic frozen food products. In response, offline stores in Europe such as supermarkets and hypermarkets have increased the selection of premium frozen food items they offer, such as premium ready meals, organic frozen fruits and vegetables, and premium meat and seafood.
The offline segment was valued at USD 30.11 billion in 2018.
