Ready Meals Market Overview

The ready meals market consists of sales of ready meals by entities (organizations, sole traders, and partnerships) that are convenient, inexpensive, fast, and pre-portioned. The ready meals are complete meals that only require heating before eating. They are ready to eat and already cooked or prepared. They are priced at a lower price and hence are cheap and convenient to use.

The main components of the ready meals market are frozen, chilled, canned, and dried products. A frozen food product that has been factory processed to the point that it is ready for use as a food and may or may not require further heating before consumption is referred to as frozen food. Ready meals are available on various distribution channels such as supermarkets/hypermarkets, convenience stores, and online.

Ready Meals Market Trends

The increasing demand for fresher and more convenient nutritionally compliant dietary standards are key trend gaining popularity in the ready meals market. For instance, in September 2020, FiveStar Gourmet Foods ltd launched the Simply Fresh2GO ready-to-eat meals product line to deliver both in retail and school food services channels to meet strict national school lunch dietary standards. It maintains that each item in the line has a balanced complete meal including protein, grains, fresh vegetables, and fruits.

Ready Meals Industry Growth

The growing awareness of food products with extended shelf lives is significantly contributing to the growth of the ready meals market.
