Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Frozen Entree Market

Before the pandemic, many countries were experiencing economic growth and increased consumer spending power. Factors such as increasing working women population and consumer’s inclination toward convenient meals, frequent small meals, and on-the-go meals influenced the growth of frozen entrée market.  However, the outbreak of COVID-19 adversely impacted various industries, including the food & beverages industry. Due to the nationwide lockdown and border restrictions, there was a significant disruption in the supply chain. Raw material and labor shortages created operational difficulties for food processors across various countries. During the initial phase of the pandemic, people were restricted from going outside their houses. This global panic situation has propelled the demand for frozen food products owing to their higher shelf life.

The sales of frozen food items through online retail platforms increased dramatically as the e-commerce operators continued to operate even during lockdowns. People stayed at home due to work from home mandates and stocked various food items including prepared meals to save cooking time and efforts. This factor had a positive impact on the frozen entree market.
