Frozen foods refer to various food products, including vegetables, fruits, meats, seafood, and ready-to-eat meals that are preserved and processed at an acute cold temperature for retaining nutrients. These consumer goods are later packed in several packaging materials, such as pouches, boxes, tubs, wrappers, and bags to ensure safer transportation. Frozen food packaging is a cost-effective, readily accessible, lightweight, and economical solution that can also withstand high temperatures. On account of these properties, they are extensively utilized to preserve the color, flavor, aroma and texture, thereby maintaining the quality and ensuring the longer shelf of food products.

Frozen Food Packaging Market Trends:

The significant expansion in the food and beverage (F&B) sector, along with the increasing demand for packaged ready-to-eat (RTE) meals on account of inflating disposable incomes, particularly in emerging economies, and hectic lifestyle schedules are currently driving the frozen food packaging market growth. In line with this, to meet the evolving consumer requirements, various food and beverage manufacturing companies are adopting modern technologies to introduce attractive, innovative, and convenient-to-carry packaging. These solutions efficiently store, protect, and extend the shelf-life of frozen perishable consumer goods, which, in turn, is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Moreover, the extensive utilization of plastic as the prominent frozen food packaging material on account of their heat resistance, storage, and durable properties, is contributing to the market growth. The shifting inclination of consumers toward online retailing and e-commerce distribution channels for shopping necessity items, especially due to the recent outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and the consequent implementation of the mandatory lockdowns across the globe, is further impelling the market growth. Other factors, such as strategic collaborations amongst key players and continuous investments in the research and developments (R&D) activities for adding new features in the packaging, including zippers and top notches, are creating a positive outlook for the market.
