The meal kit market consists of the sales of meal kits by entities (organizations, sole traders, and partnerships) that prepare and deliver customised food ingredients, pre-cooked meals, half-cooked food products, and fresh ingredients to customers to further prepare their meals conveniently. Meal kits are an alternative to grocery shopping as they reduce trips to the grocery store, are affordable in nutrition, time, and cost-saving, and reduce food wastage. These are convenient and offer the opportunity to prepare foods at home in less time.
The main types of meal kits are fresh food and processed food meal kits. The processed food meal kit is prepared by mechanical or chemical operations performed on the food to preserve it for a long time. Meal kits are available in a variety of distribution channels, including hypermarkets and supermarkets, convenience stores, specialty food stores, small grocery stores, online stores, and others, and are divided into vegetarian and non-vegetarian options.
