Furthermore, research into cost-effective freeze-drying techniques and sustainable packaging solutions could provide a competitive edge. The market's nature is dynamic, characterized by rapid innovation and intense competition, necessitating continuous investment in R&D and marketing strategies. Players should focus on fostering strong e-commerce channels and expanding their presence in untapped regions to capitalize on underserved demographics.
