Canned food refers to food products that use canning as a food preservative method to extend the shelf life of fresh food products. It is as nutritious as fresh food and enhances the convenience of healthy food products. Moreover, canned food is cost-effective and durable, due to which it is increasingly used for food storage.
The increasing focus on reducing food wastage to boost sustainability and combat growing world hunger is surging the preference for food products with extended shelf stability. This, in turn, is increasing the demand for canned food that is non-perishable, which is augmenting the canned food market expansion.
Additionally, the availability of canned fruits and vegetables in versatile forms such as dice and pastes are increasing their incorporation in various food and beverage products. This is also increasing the consumption of diced and sliced canned food, which is further propelling the market’s growth.
High demand for organic and clean-label canned foods, rising need for ready-to-eat meals, and use of sustainable packaging materials are factors providing a favourable canned food market outlook

Rising need for convenience and ready-to-eat meals
The need for quick and easy meal solutions is driving the demand for canned ready-to-eat meals and snacks. Companies like Nestle and Del Monte Foods offer a range of ready-to-eat meals that cater to this demand.
Shift towards online food delivery and e-commerce
The shift to online shopping is transforming canned food sales as companies like Amazon and Instacart are partnering with canned food manufacturers to offer a wide range of canned food products online.
Focus on sustainable packaging
Consumers are seeking eco-friendly packaging, leading canned food makers to adopt recyclable materials. For instance, companies like CHB Group are using metal cans for their canned food products, which are fully recyclable.
As canned food products are both healthy and cost-effective, they are increasingly consumed by masses of all ages, backgrounds, incomes, and geography, hence invigorating the market growth. Furthermore, the increasing use of canned food in food services such as fast-food chains and quick service restaurants (QSR) owing to the surging demand for rapid consumer services is fuelling the canned food market growth.
Moreover, with the heightened immunity and health consciousness since the pandemic, the consumption of canned pulses, canned seafood, and canned fish has surged. In addition, the spiked demand for canned food through online retail channels and development of canned food products with no sodium or sugar content can further bolster the growth of the market in the forecast period.
