Surging demand for frozen and convenience food worldwide and rising trend of in-home consumption fuel South & Central America frozen waffles market
The COVID-19 pandemic influenced the consumption habits of consumers. Due to lockdowns and work-from-home mandates, people stayed home, prompting in-home consumption. Moreover, due to the closure of food service outlets such as cafes, restaurants, and fast-food outlets, the demand for ready-to-cook products, instant meals, and frozen food products increased significantly.
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly raised hygiene concerns among consumers, leading to changes in consumer buying behavior. Consumers increasingly prefer hygienically packaged food and beverages to prevent themselves from various infections and food-borne diseases. Although the number of COVID-19 cases has decreased significantly and the government restrictions are relaxed, many people are still concerned about hygiene conditions at foodservice outlets. Therefore, many people prefer in-home consumption over food service consumption. This factor positively impacts the sales of frozen breakfast products such as waffles and pancakes as they are highly suitable for in-home consumption. Frozen waffles are increasing in popularity among consumers as they are quick, easy to prepare, and conveniently consumed at home. Thus, the rising trend of in-home consumption, especially post-COVID-19 outbreak, is significantly boosting the demand for frozen waffles.
