This frozen, canned, and dried food research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global frozen, canned and dried food market grew from $459 billion in 2022 to $492.36 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The frozen, canned and dried food market is expected to grow to $626.26 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 6.2%. The increasing demand for local, sustainable, and organic food production is expected to positively impact the frozen and fruit and vegetable markets during the forecast period. Organic food production, including organic frozen and fruit and vegetable markets, places a strong emphasis on consumer health, environmental protection, and animal welfare. Consumers are now becoming more concerned with how food is raised and prepared and are willing to pay a little more for something they recognise as healthy. For instance, in June 2022, the Organic Trade Association, a US-based trade association representing over 9,500 organic businesses, sales of organic fruits and vegetables increased by 4.5% with revenue of $21 billion representing 15 percent of the total product market in the year 2021 in the US. This growing demand for organic products offers considerable opportunities for frozen and fruit and vegetable market producers in both developed and developing countries, thus likely driving the market during the forecast period. The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the frozen and fruit & veg markets in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China, and has spread globally, including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Food and beverage manufacturers depend on the supply of raw materials from domestic and international suppliers. As many governments restricted the movement of goods across countries and locally, manufacturers had to halt production due to a lack of raw materials. Also, restrictions on the trade of non-essential goods and fear of contamination through manufacturing facilities contributed to the decline. The outbreak had a negative impact on businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the frozen and fruit & veg markets will recover from the shock across the forecast period as it is a "black swan" event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy. Frozen food manufacturers are using technologies such as individual quick freezing (IQF) to improve the yield and quality of frozen foods. The IQF method involves transferring the individual food items on a conveyor belt into a blast freezer that quickly freezes the items. With the IQF method, every individual piece of food is frozen separately, as opposed to bulk or block freezing. This method boosts yield by 1.5–3% and results in better quality products with high nutritional value and less wastage. Examples of IQF foods include fruits such as blueberries, strawberries, and peaches, and vegetables such as corn, peas, and green beans. The global IQF vegetable market is expected to reach $2 billion by 2026, thus indicating significant demand for IQF food products in the future.

The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the frozen food manufacturing market in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China, and has spread globally, including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Food and beverage manufacturers depend on the supply of raw materials from domestic and international suppliers. As many governments restricted the movement of goods across countries and locally, manufacturers had to halt production due to a lack of raw materials. Also, restrictions on the trade of non-essential goods and fear of contamination through manufacturing facilities contributed to the decline. The outbreak had a negative impact on businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the frozen food manufacturing market will recover from the shock over the forecast period as it is a "black swan" event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy. Frozen food manufacturers are using technologies such as individual quick freezing (IQF) to improve the yield and quality of frozen foods. The IQF method involves transferring the individual food items on a conveyor belt into a blast freezer that quickly freezes the items. With the IQF method, every individual piece of food is frozen separately, as opposed to bulk or block freezing. This method boosts yield by 1.5–3% and results in better quality products with high nutritional value and less wastage. Examples of IQF foods include fruits such as blueberries, strawberries, and peaches, and vegetables such as corn, peas, and green beans. The global IQF vegetable market is expected to reach $2 billion by 2026, thus indicating significant demand for IQF food products in the future.
