Microwavable Foods Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

The widened reach of vendors through organized retailing is notably driving the microwavable foods market growth, although factors such as concerns over health issues due to the use of preservatives may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the microwavable foods industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help deduce end goals and refine marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Microwavable Foods Market Driver

The widened reach of vendors through organized retailing is one of the major drivers impacting the microwavable foods market growth. The retail industries in different countries have witnessed a growth in organized retailers with the establishment of supermarkets, hypermarkets, independent retailers, and convenience stores. Convenience has become a key factor for consumers because of their hectic lifestyles and work schedules. Frozen food products, including snacks, are primarily sold by large organized retailers signifying the heavy reliance of consumers on these retailers. It also allows consumers to choose the brand of their choice from a wide range of food products. There has also been a significant increase in the number of organized retailers in some of the major countries across the globe. In 2021, the US, Brazil, the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, China, Canada, France, Australia, and Japan were some of the major countries that have a high degree of penetration of organized retailing outlets. Therefore, a significant increase in the expansion of retail stores offering microwavable foods is likely to drive market growth during the forecast period.

Key Microwavable Foods Market Trend

The adoption of blockchain in the oil and gas refining industry is one of the major trends influencing the microwavable foods market growth. A petroleum refinery faces various problems that may hinder the production of refined products. Thus, to increase the production of petroleum products and the efficiency of refining operations, it is essential to address the problems associated with refinery operations and factors that hinder the growth of the refinery output. One of the problems that hinder the growth of the refinery business is the complexity of logistics, especially in areas where the lack of refineries leads to the high prices of fuel. For the exchange of small and medium volumes of fuels, the convenient mode of exchange is not available due to the complicated calculations involved during trading. As a result, technological advances, such as blockchain, are being introduced to address these issues. Blockchain platforms enable the fast processing of transactions between all the stakeholders in the supply chain and maintain transparency, thereby ensuring security. Hence, this builds trust among the various stakeholders and reduces the costs involved.

Key Microwavable Foods Market Challenge

Concerns over health issues due to the use of preservatives are one of the major challenges impeding the microwavable foods market growth. Preservatives are natural or synthetic compounds that slow or prevent bacterial growth. They have applications in a wide range of products, such as food, pharmaceutical products, and personal care products. Their primary purpose is to prevent spoilage and contamination of the products in which they are used. However, there are concerns regarding the exposure to radiation emitted from microwaves in microwavable food and their effects on concentration, energy levels, and sleep patterns of an individual. Ultra-processed food also carries the risk of cancer in the long run, besides being low in nutritional content. For instance, food associated with cancer risk includes mass-produced packaged bread and baked goods, instant noodles and soups, sweet or savory packaged snacks, meatballs, chicken and fish nuggets, frozen or shelf-stable ready meals, and other reconstituted meat products transformed with the addition of preservatives other than salt (for instance, nitrites). All these factors hinder the adoption of microwavable food.

This microwavable foods market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth.
