Ready-to-Eat Meals Market Overview:

Ready-to-eat meals market 2022 can potentially garner a strong valuation of USD 188.0 billion by 2030, claims Market Research Future (MRFR). MRFR also anticipates the market to procure a significant CAGR of close to 10.98% over the forecast period (2022–2030). We will provide COVID-19 impact analysis with the report, along with all the extensive key developments in the market post the coronavirus disease outbreak.

Primary Drivers and Challenges:

The COVID-19 outbreak resulted in massive panic worldwide, with the lockdown leading to shut down of retail stores to curb the spread of the pandemic. This led to stockpiling of foods that have extended shelf life, such as ready-to-eat meals like salads, rice & noodles, pasta & pizzas, soups and gravies & curries. However, SARS-CoV-2 has still managed to slow down the growth of the food and beverage industry due to the scarcity in labor. Some other challenges posed by the novel coronavirus include movement restrictions; weakened supply chains and the reduced supply of raw materials such as vegetables and wheat. These factors have given a massive blow to the Ready-to-Eat Meals Market Insights.

On the brighter side, the lockdown has accelerated the transition to e-commerce, with online shopping growing in popularity among people. This has been quite favorable for the ready to eat meals market in these uncertain times. Rising preference for ready-to-eat meals due to hectic lifestyle of working professionals, students and college grads remains one of the top factors contributing to the market growth. The spike in the preference for additive-free and minimally processed foods with longer shelf life also benefits the ready to eat meals industry.

Ready to eat meals are more cost-effective compared to other alternatives in the market, since they are precooked. Their easy availability all year round also bolsters their demand, while media and print advertisement helps fosters brand awareness among people. Leading market participants are constantly launching new ready meals to cater to the evolving demand of the consumers, with the primary aim of strengthening their global position.

To cite a reference, in August 2020, Kerry Foods’ brand Richmond Sausages launched a new range of frozen ready to eat meal products in the United Kingdom. This line-up will have two family-based meals, namely Sausage Casserole and Sausage and Tomato Pasta.
