[Research Report] The frozen waffles market size is expected to grow from US$ 2,925.85 million in 2022 to US$ 4,612.86 million by 2030; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 5.9% from 2023 to 2030.

Frozen waffles are a convenience food product mainly consumed as breakfast. Consumers prefer ready-to-eat, microwavable, and ready-to-prepare food products as they are highly suitable for on-the-go consumption and require minimal preparation time. Owing to this, frozen waffles are witnessing increasing global demand, mainly in developed countries. Due to the strong cultural influence on people's consumption habits in various countries, including India, Japan, and China, there is a high predominance of traditional breakfast food. Thus, the adoption of frozen waffles in these countries is limited, which is creating hurdles in the growth of the frozen waffles market

In 2022, North America accounted for the largest share of the global frozen waffles market. The market in the region is segmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico. The rising marketing campaigns is the key factor driving the market's expansion in the US. Manufacturers rely extensively on marketing strategies such as advertising and product promotions to increase sales. Manufacturers use electronic and print media to promote their brands and products. For example, in 2017, the Netflix series Stranger Things featured Kellogg Company's Eggo brand frozen waffles. This has resulted in a considerable increase in sales of frozen waffles for the company. A rise in demand for frozen waffles among all age groups drives the market in this region. Moreover, the growing awareness about the health benefits of organic products is a significant factor boosting the demand for organic breakfast products in the region. To meet the growing consumer demand, manufacturers have introduced organic waffle varieties. For instance, Nature's Path Foods, a USDA-certified manufacturer, offers a wide range of organic breakfast and snack foods, including waffles, cold cereals, granolas, hot oatmeal, bars, and cookies. The factors mentioned above are boosting the growth of the region's frozen waffle market.
