“Rising Demand for Convenience Foods”
The growing demand for convenience foods is a major trend fueling the fried onion market's growth. With busy lifestyles and increased urbanization, consumers are gravitating towards ready-to-eat and pre-cooked meal ingredients to save time. Fried onions, widely used in cuisines such as biryanis, soups, salads, and fast foods, align perfectly with this trend. For instance, companies such as Olam Food Ingredients have introduced pre-packaged crispy fried onions, catering to households and food service providers seeking convenience. In addition, the product's long shelf life and ease of use make it highly attractive. This trend is particularly strong in regions such as Asia-Pacific and North America, boosting market sales significantly.
