In recent years, ready-to-eat (RTE) food has emerged as one of the most diverse segments of the worldwide ready-meal market. A rise in convenience patterns and a simultaneous increase in need for customized meal options have resulted in a strong desire for frozen packed meals. The frozen food and beverage industry is another option for consumers on the go, with everything from frozen desserts to appetizers and meals available. Frozen ready meals are cost-effective alternative dishes that take less time to prepare as they are pre-cooked and are available throughout the year. The shifting food preferences of consumers toward ready-to-eat products owing to the busy lifestyles of working individuals are likely to boost the market growth.

The major factors driving the frozen ready meals market include the growing preference for convenience foods, increasing working population, rising number of new product launches, and proliferation of hypermarkets and supermarkets in urban areas. Furthermore, the digitalization of the retail Industry is expected to provide significant opportunities for the growth of this market.

However, the negative mindsets and opinions about the impact of frozen food on health and stringent regulation of the FDA regarding food freezing hinder the growth of this market to a notable extent. In addition, the warehousing of frozen food poses a major challenge to players operating in this market.

The Impact of COVID-19 on the Frozen Ready Meals Market

The COVID-19 outbreak caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus created a severe public health emergency globally, with its quick spread in more than 150 countries. Numerous countries worldwide declared emergencies and announced complete nationwide, statewide, or citywide lockdowns to combat & control the spread of this disease, halting all travel, transport, manufacturing, educational institutions, and non-essential trade, significantly impacting many industries globally.

Moreover, the pandemic positively impacted the frozen ready meals industry, owing to the people becoming more conscious and making healthy choices and buying more frozen ready meals due to its convenience factor. Due to increased penetration of home food, COVID-19 bought out the significance of frozen beef, including its longer shelf life and nutritional values, among consumers. Increasing beef consumption during the COVID pandemic was another major factor behind the growing demand for frozen ready meals.
The widespread awareness regarding rich protein intake and chicken as a source of protein has majorly influenced consumers across age groups. As a result, there was an upsurge in chicken-based ready meals intake among non-vegetarians during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Further, the frozen ready meals supply chain has been mostly shifted from food service to retail as the demand for frozen ready meals, such as frozen beef and other products, has shifted from food service to household consumption. In addition, according to the Global Cold Chain Alliance (GCCA), the companies across the food supply chain are working around the clock to produce, transport, store, and distribute food around the globe. The biggest misconception about COVID-19 is that empty grocery shelves indicate a shortage of food due to the recent runs on grocery stores; however, these have created short-term disruptions as the supply chain works to catch up and replenish. Sales of frozen foods, especially frozen ready meals, have increased as consumers are stockpiling food products. Thus, the sales of frozen ready meals are positively impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19.

Moreover, in 2021, the initiation of mass COVID-19 vaccination drives and a slow revival in economic growth were expected to improve the demand for frozen ready meals from end-users, which, in turn, will positively impact the growth of the frozen ready meals market.

The demand for plant-based dairy replacements and food products has surged as people become more aware of the health benefits of vegan cuisine.
