The top three revenue-generating product segments for the global frozen food market are discussed below:
Frozen ready-to-eat meals
The rise in the number of single-person households, growing working women population, and desire for convenience are the factors responsible for the rapid growth of the market. The Americas is the largest consumer of frozen ready-to-eat products, and frozen pizza is one of the most favored types of frozen ready-to-eat meals. Frozen ready-to-eat meals include Indian-style chicken curry, beef lasagna, chicken korma, Chinese chicken curry, creamy butter chicken, and Singapore noodles.
According to Manjunath Reddy, a lead food research analyst from Technavio, “Increase in the number of children and the growing older population base who favor instant meals rather than a fully cooked meal are responsible for the rising demand for frozen ready-to-eat meals.”
Frozen meat and poultry
One of the popular frozen food product is meat and poultry as they are available in hygienic packages that are convenient to store. Moreover, Fresh meat bought from the market needs instant cleaning to avoid any deterioration in the taste or texture, whereas frozen meat just requires defrosting. Frozen meat also has a longer shelf life than fresh meat as ice crystals tend to freeze the meat's moisture.
“The easy accessibility of food items in convenience stores and supermarkets in huge varieties is adding value to these products. The popular frozen food products are meat, and poultry products are frozen beef, frozen duck, frozen turkey, frozen chicken, frozen bacon, and frozen gammon,” says Manjunath.
Frozen fish and seafood
An increase in the number of working women, changes in purchasing patterns of consumers, busy lifestyles, and the availability of a wide range of frozen fish products is driving the frozen fish and seafood segment. Seafood and fish are light snacks that can be served at get-togethers as an appetizer. The growth of modern distribution channels along with technological advancements in processing, packaging, and storage of seafood products will also aid in the market's growth.
Europe is the largest market for frozen fish and seafood. Increased consumption of fish and seafood, high imports and exports, and increased disposable income drive the market in the region. Europe is one of the major fish producers, consumers, and traders. The UK, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, and Sweden are key contributors to the market in this region.
