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.
