The Frozen Food Market Growth in Europe to be Supported by the Growing Consumer Purchasing Power
Europe, along with North America, is one of the major regional markets for frozen food. Germany, France, and the United Kingdom are some of the significant markets of frozen foods in Europe. Both Germany and the United Kingdom have witnessed robust market growth in the historical period of 2018-2023. France, too, is increasingly adopting frozen food as a part of its staple diet, further catalysing the growth of the industry in Europe. The increasing urban income, economic stability, and high consumer purchasing powers are the key drivers that are propelling the growth of the market. The growing popularity of frozen foods in Europe can also be attributed to the growing preference for ready-to-eat food, cost-effectiveness of the products, globalisation of cuisines, evolving culinary practices, favourable regulations, innovative practices by players in the industry, and the increasingly busier lifestyles of consumers. Moreover, the introduction of various healthy and diet-related frozen meals have added to the popularity and convenience of frozen foods, thus, providing further impetus to the market growth. The market growth is also expected to be supported by the rising adoption of veganism, providing further opportunities for innovation and product diversification.
Market Segmentation
Frozen foods are food products preserved under low temperatures and, hence, have a longer shelf life. They include foods such as peas, chips, sausages, carrots, pizza, sweet corn, and others. Although used as a method of preservation for a long time in the colder regions, frozen foods became a staple diet, especially for the Americans after World War II. The popularity of frozen foods is also linked with the increasing popularity of refrigerators in the twentieth century. With the increasingly hectic lifestyle and growing need for convenient food, frozen food has witnessed a wide adoption through the twenty-first century.

COVID-19 Crisis Serves as a Boon for the Frozen Food Industry in Europe
The fast development of food chains, supermarkets, hypermarkets and convenience store, along with the easy availability and improved quality of products, are some of the significant drivers of the industry. Additionally, the robust growth of the food industry and the increased rate of employed women also serve as important factors for the rapid growth of the frozen food industry in Europe.
While major industries suffered due to the ongoing coronavirus crisis, the pandemic proved to be an advantage for the frozen food industry in Europe. Consumers increasingly purchased frozen food in the region during the pandemic, with the spending per household on frozen food increasing during the COVID-19 crisis in 2020. British Frozen Food Federation (BFFF) claimed that the sales of the retail frozen food industry increased by £872 million to over £7 billion a year in 2020 in the United Kingdom. The spike in frozen food purchases can be attributed to the longer shelf life of the product, easy availability over online channels, and the availability of a wide range of vegetarian and vegan products.
