Increase in Demand for Convenience or Ready- to- Eat Food Fuel Europe Chilled Food Packaging Market

The consumption of high-quality convenience food is increasing, which is currently one of the biggest trends in the food industry. Convenience foods, such as RTE products, allow consumers to save time and effort associated with shopping for ingredients, meal preparation and cooking, consumption, and post-meal activities. The development of this food segment is ascribed to many social changes; the most notable of these include the growing number of smaller households and the rising millennial population worldwide. Due to hectic work schedules, millennials prefer to be efficient with their time rather than spend it on tedious tasks. Thus, they are more likely to spend their money on convenience foods, which dives into the popularity of packaged RTE products, such as baked products, snacks, and dairy products. According to the data by Hartman Group, 96% of millennials replace a meal with a snack once a week, while 58% say they snack 4-5 times a day. 91% of all consumers say they eat snacks throughout the day, while 8% say they do not eat meals and consume only snacks. These factors are causing a major shift among millennials toward daily snacking, replacing meals with savory and sweet snacks in various formats. Chilled food packaging enables the safe and convenient consumption of these products, allowing consumers to enjoy meals without extra preparation. In addition, chilled food packaging plays a vital role in maintaining food safety for RTE meals. Packaging acts as a protective barrier, preventing contamination and preserving the hygienic quality of the food. Sealed packaging also provides tamper-evident features, assuring consumers that the product is safe and untouched before opening.

Different chilled food packaging products-including cold beverage cups, pouches, trays, bags, and boxes-are widely used for serving or packaging chilled foods. The growing consumption of RTE meals is boosting the chilled food packaging market. Moreover, the rising number of restaurants and takeaway facilities is creating a huge demand for chilled food packaging products in the region.

Players operating in the Europe chilled food packaging market focus on investing in sustainable innovation to cater to consumer demands for packaging solutions that are safe, recyclable, and made from recycled materials.
