Market dynamics
1 factors across 1 forceRising Consumer Demand for Frozen Food Products
The changing food consumption pattern has increased the demand for convenience food. Consumers prefer convenience food products, such as RTE and RTC food, due to their ease of preparation and consumption. The demand for ready-to-eat food products is increasing rapidly due to the drastic shift in dietary habits. Additionally, increasing urbanization is likely to boost the growth of this trend.
More than half of the world's population lives in urban areas. According to the United Nations World Urbanization Report, the urban population of the world has grown rapidly from 439,498,772 in 2015 to 471,031,528 in 2019, which indicates that almost 55% of the world’s population lives in urban areas. This proportion is expected to increase to 68% by 2050. As a result, urban consumers are gaining exposure to a wider choice and better food availability than those living in rural areas. Also, this urbanization trend is expected to contribute significantly toward improved living standards and rising incomes, which influences the affordability of frozen food products to a greater extent.
Furthermore, with the rising demand for frozen food, there will be higher adoption of antifreeze protein in the frozen food industry. Antifreeze proteins can modify ice growth, stabilizing ice crystals over a defined temperature range, inhibiting recrystallization, and reducing cellular damage. This safeguards the quality of frozen foods without structural and organoleptic alterations. Antifreeze protein is vital in ice cream, chilled fish and meat, frozen dough, desserts, and other frozen food products.
Hence, the rising demand for frozen food products drives the growth of the antifreeze protein market.
