Market Definition

Microwavable foods require little preparation and can be cooked in a standard microwave oven. Microwavable foods have nutritional benefits because they do not contain added fat, have a long shelf life, and can be prepared in less time. The frozen foods are pre-treated with heat or dried to kill food-borne microorganisms, extending their shelf life. Furthermore, microwavable chilled food is kept at refrigeration temperatures which is between 0 and -5°C.

Microwavable Foods Market Dynamics

Drivers

  • Rising urbanization and growing trend of convenience food around the world

As they require less time and effort to prepare than cooking from scratch, the growing consumer preference for convenience foods indirectly benefits the growing demand for microwavable foods. Consumers' hectic lifestyles have increased demand for processed foods. As a result, there is an increase in demand for microwavable goods. Increased disposable income has a significant impact on the growth of the microwavable food market because it increases consumer purchasing power.

  • Expansions of convenience stores as well growing working class population

Food supply chain companies' sales of microwaveable foods continue to contribute significantly to revenue. Additional revenue share is expected soon as convenience stores expand their selection of microwavable ready meals and internet sales enter previously untapped market opportunities.

Microwavable foods are becoming more popular in developed countries, where consumption exceeds that of developing countries. The rise in the number of people working in emerging economies like China and India, as well as the trend toward longer and more variable work hours, has resulted in a gradual shift away from the traditional paradigm of daily cooking.

Opportunities

The unexpected breakdown of COVID-19 around the world has significantly increased demand for microwavable foods, which have the advantage of retaining nutrition for a longer period of time and having a longer shelf life than other fresh fruits, vegetables, and meat, which are also expected to fuel market growth. Furthermore, rising retail digitalization and rapidly rising processed food trade will create new opportunities for the microwavable foods market during the forecast period.

Restraints

However, the growing preference for fresh and natural food products, as well as the growing need for constant temperature monitoring, are expected to slow the growth rate of the microwavable foods market, while a lack of cold chain infrastructure in developing economies will pose a market challenge for microwavable foods during the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact on Microwavable Foods Market

The COVID-19 outbreak has increased demand for convenience products. During the pandemic, consumers were constantly purchasing ready-to-eat or ready-to-cook meals because they were inexpensive. All restaurants, hotels, and shopping malls have implemented severe lockdown measures, which has impacted eating habits globally due to lockdown and public safety measures. This factor has also influenced many people to switch to home-cooked meals and packaged ready foods that can be delivered to their homes via a variety of supermarkets or hypermarkets, as well as e-commerce grocery store home delivery options, as dining-out options were limited. Fear of the virus spreading in public places has resulted in the purchase of packaged and long-life foods rather than fresh food.

Recent Development
