Frozen Food Wholesaling in the US - Industry Research Report

Iced Out: The Growing Popularity of Organic, Natural and Fresh Foods Will Likely Temper Industry Growth

Consumers have long viewed frozen foods as nutrient-deficient or time-saving options that are simple to prepare. Over the past five years, the Frozen Food Wholesaling industry has sought to change the former and capitalize on the latter. As consumers become increasingly busy yet remain cost-conscious, the need for convenient meals has bolstered demand for frozen food. Shifting consumer preferences are spurring product innovation, driving demand for meatless, gluten-free and organic frozen foods. Still, escalating competition is mitigating frozen food sales.

This industry primarily wholesales packaged frozen foods, excluding dairy products. Wholesaling in this industry involves the resale of frozen food products to downstream sectors, including restaurants, food service outlets, grocery stores and other retailers and wholesalers. Products include packaged frozen meats, poultry, seafood, fruits and vegetables, juices, bakery products, pizzas and other frozen meals.
