The rise in consumption of various packaged food products is expected to propel the growth of the canned vegetable market going forward. Packaged food refers to food items that are processed, preserved, and sealed in packaging to improve shelf life, convenience, and distribution, often including ready-to-eat meals, snacks, and cooking ingredients. Consumption of packaged food products continues to increase due to changing lifestyles, growing demand for convenience, and the globalization of food markets, which provide consumers with diverse and time-saving meal solutions. Canned vegetables support this trend by simplifying meal preparation, reducing cooking time, and offering consistent flavor and quality. For instance, in June 2023, according to Euromonitor International, a UK-based market research and analysis organization, retail sales of packaged foods in Japan are projected to reach $235.9 billion by 2026, representing a 9.1% increase, or a $19.6 billion rise, compared with 2022. Therefore, the growing consumption of packaged food products is driving the growth of the canned vegetable market.
