Stable economic growth is expected to increase investments in the end-user markets, thereby driving the market during the forecast period. 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.

Potato starch refer to a natural starch obtained by crushing potatoes, which releases free starch in the form of a milky liquid. Starch grains are found in the cells of the potato plant's root tubers. The potatoes are crushed to extract the starch, and the starch grains are liberated from the destroyed cells. The starch then is washed and dried to powder. Potato starch has huge oval spherical granules that range in size from 5 to 100 µm. Potato starch is a highly refined starch with little protein or fat. This gives the powder a clear white color, and the cooked starch has the normal properties of a neutral flavor, good clarity, high binding strength, lengthy texture, and a low tendency to foam or yellow the solution. These common features are used in a variety of food and technical applications such as in the paper and chemical industry. The main types of potato starch are native starch, modified starch, and sweeteners. Native starches are plant-based substances derived from a variety of agricultural basic materials.
