The global frozen bakery market size is expected to reach USD 95.73 billion in 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The advancements in freezing technologies have played a pivotal role in enhancing the overall quality, taste, and texture of frozen food products, including frozen bakery products, subsequently contributing to their reputation as convenient and reliable meal options.
Quick freezing methods such as blast freezing or cryogenic freezing have significantly improved the quality of frozen food, including frozen bakery products. These rapid freezing techniques help preserve the natural texture, flavor, and nutrients of the ingredients, ensuring that the product closely resembles fresh alternatives.
Various frozen food manufacturers are also incorporating advanced freezing technologies to improve the quality of their frozen foods. For example, Alpha Foods uses a distinctive processing method that combines high-pressure and high-heat extrusion to achieve ideal moisture control, resulting in a juicy, tender texture that closely mimics the qualities of animal protein.
In January 2024, Air Products highlighted the Freshline Smart Technology, which allows customers to control and monitor food manufacturing processes remotely, at the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.
Advanced freezing technologies have led to the development of frozen food products with extended shelf life. Controlled freezing processes, such as ultra-low-temperature freezing, help maintain the product's quality over an extended period, reducing food waste and enhancing the convenience factor for consumers. Furthermore, frozen food producers are integrating advanced packaging technologies to enhance shelf life.
In February 2023, Preferred Packaging, a division of C-P Flexible Packaging, joined forces with Northwest Frozen LLC to create and introduce a new range of refrigerated, ready-to-eat meals with extended shelf life for retail distribution. The innovative packaging ensures hermetically sealed meals with a tailored, low-oxygen environment inside the package to preserve the freshness of the food.
