Which Factors Are Boosting Growth In The Nachos Market?
The surge in the demand for ready-to-eat foods is likely to fuel the nacho market's expansion. Ready-to-eat foods refer to meals that are pre-prepared or pre-cooked, intended for immediate consumption or quick culinary preparation. Nachos are often considered one of these ready-to-eat foods since they are easy to prepare, versatile, and an excellent option for speedy snacks or informal gatherings. For example, Food and Drinks Malaysia's statistics by SAIL Group—a Malaysia-based food exhibition—indicated that the ready-to-eat food industry's volume rose by 3.0% in 2023 and is projected to hit 7,829.2 kg by 2027. Additionally, in Malaysia, revenue from these foods stands at US$31.84 billion in 2022, projected to increase by 5.49% from 2022 to 2027. Thus, the proliferating demand for ready-to-eat foods is accelerating the nacho market's development. The escalating popularity of Mexican restaurants paves the way for the growth of the nacho market. These restaurants, which primarily serve Mexican cuisine, enhance their overall appeal, customer contentment, and profitability by featuring nachos on their menus. This versatile and widely enjoyed dish can help restaurants attract a diverse clientele while showcasing Mexican culinary heritage. For instance, The Chef’s Store, a restaurant supply company based in the US, revealed that the number of Mexican restaurant ventures in the US surged by 2.4% to 49,365 establishments in 2023. Hence, the rising demand for Mexican cuisine in restaurants contributes to the expansion of the nacho market.
