The new product launches is notably driving the frozen ready meals market growth, although factors such as challenges in warehousing of frozen foods may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the frozen ready meals industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Frozen Ready Meals Market Driver
One of the key factors driving the global frozen ready meals industry growth is the new product launches. Consumers also get a wide range of products to choose from, thereby spurring market growth. For instance, in June 2021, Conagra Brands, Inc. launched new products for the summer. The new offerings included Banquet Mega Double Stuffed Four Meat Pizza and Sesame Chicken with Zoodles. In June 2021, Tyson Foods, Inc. launched a new line of plant-based products in select retail markets and e-commerce sites across APAC. The initial launch included frozen bites, nuggets, and strips made from plants. Such factors will boost market growth in the coming years.
Key Frozen Ready Meals Market Trend
Growing popularity of private-label frozen ready meals is one of the key frozen ready meals market trends that is expected to impact the industry positively in the forecast period. Some retailers promote their own brands by providing more shelf space for their products when compared with other branded products. For instance, in 2020, the sale of private-label frozen foods increased by 75% globally. Online retailers like Amazon have been rolling out private-label frozen foods, while Consumer Value Stores (CVS) are expanding their frozen food sections by adding private-label frozen foods to increase their grocery business. Some private-label brands are focusing on launching their frozen foods in paper-based trays to reduce the use of plastic packaging and attract consumers by focusing on initiatives that promote environmental sustainability. This, in turn, will propel the growth of the market in the forecast years.
Key Frozen Ready Meals Market Challenge
One of the key challenges to the global frozen ready meals industry growth is the challenges in the warehousing of frozen foods. Retailers and distributors of frozen foods require the appropriate cold storage and warehouse facilities, wherein frozen foods need to be stored at zero-degree temperatures (Fahrenheit) to ensure that the quality of products does not degrade. Frozen food products, such as meat, poultry, and seafood, are perishables. Warehouses must have the facility to regulate and maintain both humidity and temperature. Moreover, warehouses require proper backup facilities in terms of electricity and freezing equipment. Hence, the warehousing of frozen foods, including frozen ready meals, is a challenge, particularly in rural areas across developing economies such as Nigeria and Kenya.
