Global Ready to Eat Food Market Forecast and Trends

Growth Drivers

Launch of Wide Variety of Ready-to-Eat Food Products

Food producers worldwide offer a variety of products to capture a bigger share of the market. They provide various products for children, teens, young people, office workers, and others with varying nutritional needs and purchasing power. For example, BOSH! just debuted its first line of vegan-ready meals in UK supermarkets, including Shepherd's pie and Chilli non-Carne, which require no preparation. Likewise, Costco has launched ready-to eat vegan Bolognese, which is available across 50 stores across California and Hawaii. Such product launches are critical in propelling the global ready-to-eat food market forward.

Rapid Urbanization and Increasing Disposable Income

The rapid urbanization and increasing disposable income of people are emerging as the major driving factor for the global ready to eat food market. With an increasing number of working people and busy schedules in modern urban life, consumers increasingly turn to ready-to-eat food products to meet their nutritional and consumption needs. Furthermore, the ease with which these items are available in convenience stores, supermarkets/hypermarkets, and online platforms is increasing accessibility to ready-to-eat food products, propelling the market growth.

Restraints

Negative Health Consequences of Ready-To-Eat Food Products

While ready-to-eat foods are extremely convenient, their side effects on human health cannot be overlooked. Many of these foods contain excess sugar and artificial flavors and colors that can drastically affect the fat content in ready-to-eat food. Moreover, several ready to eat meals rely on acidic conditions to prevent pathogen growth. Bacteria such as E. coli, Clostridium perfringens, Listeria monocytogenes, and Salmonella, on the other hand, can survive and develop in the acidic conditions of these ready-to-eat foods creating a health hazard. Additionally, a growing awareness of personal health and the increasing prevalence of various medical conditions, such as cardiovascular diseases, may negatively impact the demand for ready-to-eat food products, hindering the global market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 on Global Ready to Eat Food Market

After the COVID-19 outbreak, the ready to eat food market experienced tremendous growth. Because of the sudden lockdown imposed by different countries to curb the spread of the virus, people, especially urban populations, started to rely more on ready-to-eat food products, causing a boom in its market.  However, there was a minor slump in the initial phase of the outbreak because of distribution channel constraints. However, manufacturers immediately resorted to e-commerce websites and other online distribution methods, allowing the market to recover from this setback.

Global Ready to Eat Food Market - By Product Type

Based on product types, the global ready to eat food market is segmented into meat & poultry, fruits & vegetables, cereals, and others. Among these segments, the meat & poultry segment holds the largest market share. The meat and poultry segment includes frozen meat and poultry products such as luncheon meats, hot dogs, sausages, cold cuts, and other deli-style meat and poultry. The recent development of individual quick-freezing technology allows food products to be frozen at -30°C to -40°C. It preserves meat and poultry products for a longer period, sometimes even a year, while maintaining major attributes such as taste, colors, flavors, and texture. Such factors are favoring the growth of this segment.

Global Ready to Eat Food Market - By Packaging

Based on packaging, the global ready to eat food market is segmented into canned, frozen, chilled, and others. The frozen segment accounts for the largest market share and is also estimated to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The freezing technology is the most preferred type of packaging as the food is processed and quickly frozen, which prevents any deterioration of flavor, quality, texture, as well as nutrition. Additionally, the increasing construction of cold storage, especially in emerging economies like India and China, is propelling the growth of the global ready-to-eat food market.
