Growing Consumption of Convenience Food Drive North America Frozen French Fries Market
The surge in the consumption of high-quality convenience food owing to changing lifestyles is one of the biggest trends in the food industry. Convenience food, such as frozen snacks, frozen meals, and frozen ready-to-eat products, allow consumers to save time and effort associated with ingredient shopping, meal preparation, cooking, consumption, and post-meal cleaning activities. The development and popularity of these food items are ascribed to many social changes; the most notable are the increasing number of smaller households and the rising millennial population worldwide. Due to hectic work schedules, millennials prefer quick, easy meals without compromising taste and nutrition. According to the 2020 Current Population Survey, there were 36.1 million single-person households in the US, accounting for 28% of all households. The growing number of one or two-person families has fueled the demand for ready-to-eat, portion-controlled foods. Frozen food products are also growing in demand as they have an extended shelf-life, are suitable for single-person consumption, and can be prepared quickly. According to the “Power of Frozen” report published by the American Frozen Food Institute and Food Industry Association, frozen food sales in the US increased by 21% in 2020. Fast-food franchises such as McDonald's, Wendy's, Johny Rocket, KFC, Burger King, and Hardy's substantially impact the North America frozen French fries market. Further, convenience foods satisfy the needs of consumers and are readily available in retail outlets or stores as well as various fast-food chains, hotels, and quick-service restaurants. The rise in retail outlets, convenience stores, and supermarkets has increased the availability of ready-to-eat food, propelling the frozen snacks industry to new heights. Thus, the growing consumption of convenience food, such as frozen French fries, is influencing the market growth.North America Frozen French Fries Market Overview
