Frozen Food Market Drivers and Opportunities

Flourishment of E-Commerce to Favor Market

People are increasingly preferring online retail platforms for purchasing frozen foods. According to American Frozen Food Institute, online sales of frozen food products increased by 75% in 2020. The online sales of food and beverages rose significantly during the pandemic due to the shutdown of brick-and-mortar stores and the imposition of social restrictions by governments. As people’s movement was constrained by lockdowns and they were compelled to work from their homes, there was a substantial shift to online shopping. Moreover, heavy discounts, wide availability of different brands under one roof, and home delivery options have been other notable factors driving consumers’ focus toward online shopping. With the rising penetration of e-commerce across different geographies, the manufacturers of frozen foods such as Kellogg's Company, Conagra Brandsare also enlarging their online presence by selling their products through well-known e-commerce platforms such as Amazon.com, Lidl, and Walmart. This factor contributes to the growth of the frozen food market by eliminating the dependency on offline retail stores.

For instance, in August 2021, Real Good Foods Company, a known name in the frozen foods industry, announced the launch of 7 new protein-rich, low-carb, grain-free, and gluten-free frozen product categories in 1,500 Kroger stores across the US. Similarly, in 2022, Indian leading brand Prasuma, which offers frozen food, has launched frozen snacks products to its frozen food product portfolio. The newly launched products are Frozen Veg and Chicken Spring Rolls, frozen Chicken Nuggets, Chicken and Veg Mini Samosas, Chicken and Mutton Shammi Kababs and Seekh Kababs along with Bacon to its frozen snack’s product portfolio.
