Food Market Overview: 

The food market is mainly driven by the increasing global population and urbanization trends. In addition, the ongoing shifts in consumer preferences towards healthier, organic, sustainable, and convenience-oriented food products drive innovation and market expansion. Moreover, the rising disposable incomes, particularly in emerging economies, lead to increased spending on diverse food choices, including premium and specialty meals, which is also catalyzing the global market. Apart from this, the increasing awareness towards health issues and dietary preferences, such as plant-based diets, gluten-free options, and functional foods, shape product development and market trends. For instance, VegaBytz introduced their plant-based, 100% vegan meat products in India. Meat/Chicken/Tuna ready-to-eat meals and curry items are all vegan and made entirely from plants in the VegaBytz product line.

Similarly, McCain Foods acquired Netherlands-based Scelta Products. This acquisition will strengthen the position of the company in prepared frozen appetizers and will add innovation and capacity to frozen samples.

Food Market Trends:

Rising Health and Wellness Trends

The growing awareness towards health issues and the changing dietary preferences of consumers, such as plant-based diets, gluten-free options, and functional foods, shape product development and market trends. Besides this, cultural preferences, dietary habits, and demographic shifts (aging populations, multicultural societies) influence food consumption patterns. Moreover, there is a significant shift towards healthier eating habits, driving the demand for organic, natural, and functional foods. Consumers are increasingly focused on nutritional benefits, clean labels, and ingredients with health-promoting properties, which is further stimulating the demand for food. For example, Danone acquired organic food producer Happy Family, which produces a variety of organic products. The management of Danone revealed that the company has agreed to purchase 92% of the organic baby food manufacturer Happy Family.

Furthermore, Grain Forests introduced new organic variants to bring the rural farm closer to the city. Sprouted ragi for babies, Health Mix for diabetics, Moringa powder for daily nutrition, and Ragi Dosa for a nutritious breakfast are newly added products.

Convenience and On-the-Go Foods

The busy lifestyles of individuals bolster the demand for convenient and portable food options, such as ready-to-eat meals, snack bars, and single-serve packaging. In line with this, there is a growing emphasis on quick preparation times and easy accessibility, which is further propelling the market outlook. Besides this, several leading food companies are offering personalized nutrition solutions tailored to individual preferences, dietary restrictions, and health goals. This includes personalized meal kits, nutrition apps, and functional foods targeting specific health needs. For example, General Mills Inc. launched prepared meal kits under the brands of Betty Crocker, Old El Paso, Pillsbury, and Annie's Organic brands. It provides consumers with fully prepared, and ready-to-eat meal options for simple homemade dishes.

Moreover, General Mills, a United States food company, released ready-to-eat cookies based on its baking brand Pillsbury for the first time. Pillsbury's Soft Baked Cookies will be available in four flavors, which are chocolate chip, confetti sugar with drizzled icing, and peanut butter with chocolatey drizzle.
