NEWARK, Del, Sept. 19, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The frozen food market share is estimated to exceed US$ 335,342 million in 2023. The demand for frozen food is expected to rise at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2023 to 2033, taking the valuation to US$ 629,649 million by 2033. The fast-paced modern lifestyle has led to an increased preference for convenient meal options. Busy individuals and families find frozen foods to be a quick and hassle-free solution, reducing the time spent on meal preparation. Moreover, the rising awareness of food waste issues has led to a preference for frozen foods, which have longer shelf lives and help reduce wastage. Lastly, technological advancements in freezing and packaging techniques have improved the quality and taste of frozen products, further fueling the industry’s growth.
Despite its growth, the frozen food industry faces certain restraints. One significant challenge is the perception that frozen foods are less healthy than fresh options. Consumers often associate frozen foods with high levels of preservatives and additives, which can deter health-conscious buyers. Additionally, concerns about the environmental impact of frozen food packaging, especially non-recyclable materials, have led to calls for more sustainable practices. Furthermore, the industry must address product labeling and transparency issues to build consumer trust. Overcoming these restraints is essential for sustained growth.
