Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: The world is witnessing an increase in obesity-related diseases, such as heart disease and diabetes, and an increase in the aging population. People are increasingly realizing the importance of a healthy lifestyle and are opting for healthier products to fight such diseases. Therefore, companies have started focusing their marketing efforts on health and well-being products by installing displays in stores that will help health-conscious customers identify healthy foods. In addition, the increasing concern for health and well-being has also created the demand for ready meals that have been made with natural and organic ingredients. The packaging of ready meals is also expected to undergo a revolutionary change, and vendors are expected to shift their focus onto developing and using packaging that is eco-friendly and biodegradable. Therefore, the increasing concern for health and well-being among customers is another trend that is expected to impact the Global Ready Meals market during the forecast period.
According to the report, one of the main drivers in this market is increasing innovation in packaging. The increasing need to retain the vitamin content, the color, product quality, texture, taste, and shelf life of the products during the entire cycle, from production to consumption, has encouraged vendors to focus on innovating new packaging designs that retain the attributes of the final products. In addition, vendors have been working collaboratively with packaging manufacturers to stay competitive in the market.
