Market Dynamics

Driver: the increasingly hectic and busy lifestyles.

The hustling culture that permeates the modern society. Everyone juggles their jobs, hobbies, health, and relationships. Due to the increasing stress and busy schedules, there is no time to prepare and cook three healthy meals every day. Additionally, due to the rising cost of living, cooks and maids are now paid more, which is beyond the means of most salaried workers who are just starting and students who attend college away from home. The growing female workforce has also generated a demand for prepared meals. The demand for prepared meals that are quicker, easier, more inexpensive, and more convenient than fast food is rising as people become more aware of the health risks associated with eating fast food. The industry participants have seen the escalating demand. The market players have recognised the expanding demand for quick, wholesome meal solutions without sacrificing taste or quality in an affordable price range, which has sparked innovation and the creation of a wide range of options for the consumer market. Therefore, the expansion of the global market for quick meals would be influenced by busy lifestyles.

Restraints: The lack of nourishment in prepared meals.

Because they do not include the proper quantity or quality of nutrients needed to maintain health, ready-made meals are not usually as nutrient-dense as those prepared from scratch. Ready-made meals may be poor in other nutrients and excessive in salt and fat. Most prepared foods lack even a basic understanding of nutrient balance. Something is either in excess or insufficient. Variety can also be a problem because not all meals can be prepared in a prepackaged, ready-to-eat fashion. Given the normal sizes available, the portion sizes can be a concern. Ready-made meals have flavourings or starches added to them to make them sweeter, which encourages repeat purchases at the expense of Ready-made meals have flavourings or starches added to them to make them more appetising so that consumers would keep buying them, which is ultimately bad for human health. If consumed excessively over an extended period, ready meals can lead to dependency and inhibit learning practical skills like cooking. As a result, the market's expansion will be hampered by the low nutritional value of ready meals and other related factors.

Opportunities: the arrival of new varieties.

The market participants have realised they need to broaden their product line to gain new market share. Market participants choose new items that appeal to particular audiences based on their likes and preferences. For the Indian audience, ready-to-eat foods like poha, upma, dhokla, etc. were introduced. Similarly, developing ready meals that include popular foods from Mexico, Japan, China, and other cultures has given industry participants access to new markets. As a result, the market for ready meals will develop faster throughout the forecast period by introducing new varieties.

Challenges: the growing demand for fresh foods and meals.

The increasing prevalence of obesity, diabetes and other lifestyle diseases are attributed to the unhealthy lifestyle associated with unhealthy diet and no physical exercise. The dangers of these diseases have encouraged individuals to improve their habits, which translates into a healthy diet consisting of fresh foods and meals. Recipe boxes and farmers markets are gaining traction and will challenge the market's growth.
