Key Takeaways

  • Canadians consider ready meals as emergency food, primarily consuming them when they do not have time to make meals from scratch.
  • Ready meals save consumers at least 50% of their time for the whole process of cooking.

 

There is a growing popularity of frozen foods in North America as processed food producers are producing high-quality and nutritional value meals, propelling the North America ready meals market growth. These foods efficiently meet the nutritional and lifestyle needs of consumers. Prominent supermarkets, such as Walmart, Inc., Trader Joe's Company, Inc., Costco Wholesale Corporation, and Target Corp are offering a range of products frozen at the peak of freshness, such as fried rice, and chicken vegetable rice as well as pizzas.

 

According to the North America ready meals market analysis, consumers are demanding low-calorie ready meals produced with clean-label ingredients. By capitalising on these trends, players can further stimulate growth in the market. Players are also providing halal ready meals to meet the growing demand for a halal diet. Additionally, ready-meal providers are expanding their offerings to grab a larger customer base. For instance, in December 2023, Blue Apron, a provider of meal kit services in the United States, announced the expansion of its ready-to-eat category by launching Prepared & Ready meals. Prepared & Ready is made up of chef-crafted meals that are nutritionist-approved, non-frozen, and are delivered fresh and ready to reheat in a microwave.
