IQF is an abbreviation used for “Individually Quick Frozen”, which is a method used for fruits and vegetables to be kept frozen at a very low temperature, usually between -30°C to -40°C. Unlike the traditional cold storage method, it helps prevent the formation of large ice crystals, keeping the product safe and fresh with the nutrients locked.
Rolling wave technology is one of the major advancements in IQF processes. This technology utilises liquid nitrogen and carbon dioxide as its main freezing medium. Instead of submerging the products in chilling solutions, it employs a bedplate system, which makes it suitable for delicate products such as seafood.
Based on the product, the market can be segmented into broccoli and cauliflower, corn and baby corn, peas, beans, carrots, tomatoes, and onions, among others. The global IQF vegetable market segmentation, based on nature, includes conventional and organic. Based on end use, the market can be bifurcated into commercial and residential.
The market, based on distribution channels, includes online stores, supermarkets/hypermarkets, and business to business(B2B), among others. The major regional markets for IQF vegetables are North America, Europe, the Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa.
