Fresh Food Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

Based on our research output, there has been a positive impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The growing adoption of healthy food habits is notably driving the fresh food market growth, although factors such as harmful practices of over-fertilization may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the fresh food industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Fresh Food Market Driver

One of the key factors driving growth in the fresh food market is the growing adoption of healthy food habits. The growing prevalence and incidences of various lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, and gastrointestinal diseases are increasing significantly globally. Diabetes can lead to severe complications such as CVDs, hypertension, stroke, and kidney failure. Eating healthy food can help control and prevent such lifestyle diseases in individuals. Nutritional deficiencies may lead to various health problems such as skin disorders, digestion problems, defective bone growth, and dementia. Some of the common deficiencies are those of calcium, vitamin A, iron, iodine, vitamin B12, and magnesium. Such deficiencies can lead to weak immunity and pose a higher risk of infections. Hence, to reduce the chances of these diseases, people are increasingly adopting healthy eating habits. Fresh vegetables and fruits are rich in antioxidants and vitamins, which play an important role in building immunity and improving health conditions. Therefore, the growing adoption of healthy eating habits among individuals is boosting the growth of the global fresh food market.

Key Fresh Food Market Trend

The rising demand in online retail is a fresh food market trend that is expected to have a positive impact in the coming years. Factors such as increasing internet connectivity, rising adoption of smartphones, and the presence of a large customer base drive the demand for fresh foods such as vegetables, fruits, and meat and poultry in online retail. Growing marketing activities online are enabling manufacturers to offer consumers with easy access to fresh foods. E-commerce platforms such as Alibaba, Amazon, IndiaMart, and Innovative Retail Concepts Pvt. Ltd. (bigbasket) sell fresh foods. Online retail channels sell fresh foods at a nearly 40% cheaper rate than traditional local vendors. Such discounts and offers and the availability of several exotic fresh vegetables and fruits attract consumers to buy products in bulk through online retail channels. This is expected to increase online purchases of fresh foods. Moreover, the ease of purchasing products, options for home delivery and safe payment options online are the major factors boosting the sales of fresh foods through online retail. This is expected to increase the number of opportunities for the growth of the global fresh food market in the coming years.

Key Fresh Food Market Challenge

The harmful practices of over-fertilization will be a major challenge for the fresh food market during the forecast period. Many fresh food manufacturers use various chemicals to maintain the freshness, color, and texture of fresh food products. Excess consumption of these chemicals poses serious health hazards. Also, over-fertilization often results in an unusually high build-up of salts in the soil, as well as excess nitrogen, which is harmful for plant health. Over-fertilizing outdoor plants can result in chemical run-off, which can pollute waterways. Ensuring food safety starts with the production at the farm level. In line with this, misuse of agrochemicals, including pesticides, growth hormones, and veterinary drugs, may have harmful effects on human health. These agrochemicals are available over the counter, and farmers can use them without proper understanding or supervision. These chemicals can be hazardous, and there is always a chance that agricultural produce may get contaminated with residues of these chemicals. Since these factors have harmful health implications for people and plants alike, they are challenges to the global fresh food market.
