The frozen pizza market is anticipated to expand at a high CAGR over the forecast period.
During the past few decades, pizza has become a wildly popular classic meal all over the world. Due to its taste, flavor, and affordability, pizza is a favorite dish for people of all age groups. Pizza was introduced to the countries like the United States, and Canada by Italian immigrants in the 1900s, and it became more popular following World War II. Once the majority of the population began purchasing home freezers in the 1940s, frozen meals gained popularity.
The prospect of having a quick and easy-to-prepare, sufficiently filling supper hidden away in their freezer like a frozen pizza—has also brought comfort to buyers. According to IRI statistics, Americans spent US$275 million on frozen pizzas in March 2020, a 92 percent rise from the same month last year. For the modern consumer, it also makes sense since stocking your freezer with frozen pizzas like that can provide you with a much-needed break from cooking and is frequently less expensive than takeout. As a result, the high popularity of pizza as a dish and rising demand for convenient, easy-to-prepare, and filling meals are some of the factors driving the growth of the frozen pizza market globally during the forecast period.
Value and quality are recurring factors in the continuous consumption of frozen pizza by people. Pizza fans have previously shown they are willing to spend extra for higher-quality frozen pizza. Operators of grocery stores and convenience stores have a fantastic potential to be dominant and lucrative in the market as long as they focus on quality.
However, the lack of nutritional value in frozen pizza and the growing demand for fresh organic, clean-label food is restricting the growth of the global market for frozen pizza during the projection period.
Frozen pizza dishes need minimal preparation time and can be cooked in a standard microwave oven found in everyone’s kitchen. As a result, people are looking for fast and quick meal options that can be eaten for both lunch and dinner as more individuals work from home and more youngsters participate in remote learning. Single-serve pizza has grown in popularity for lunch, but multi-serve pizza has long been a practical and well-liked evening choice.
The rising demand for ready-to-eat quick foods is one of the main drivers of the frozen pizza market's expansion.
People are being forced to look for food products that are simple to prepare because of their changing lifestyles and busy schedules. This aspect is causing more people to adopt easy and quick-to-make food products that are filling as well as delicious such as frozen pizza. The market for frozen is also growing as a result of increased living standards, an increase in the number of women working, and a rapid rise in the number of large retail chains.
Frozen pizzas come in a wide variety that may satisfy different family demands which are also propelling demand. For instance, in February 2023, food giant Nestle announced that they were launching a new line of frozen pizza. As part of its California Pizza Kitchen range of frozen pies, Nestle will also debut a brand-new BBQ Chicken Frozen Pizza with Cauliflower Pizza Crust for more health-conscious consumers.
North American region is anticipated to hold a significant amount of market share in the global frozen pizza market. The high popularity and consumption of frozen pizza in countries like the United States are one of the key factors supporting the growth of the market in this region.
American consumers spent US$275 million on frozen pizzas in March 2020, up 92 percent over the same month the previous year, according to IRI figures. Continuous product launches and innovation by key market players such as General Mills, Nestle, and DiGiorno are also spurring growth in the North American region. The market is expanding in this area because of elements such as changing eating patterns, traditional snacking behaviors, easier and quicker preparation methods, and rising consumption of processed RTE food items. Rising nuclear families, an increase in the number of working women, and a sharp rise in the number of supermarkets and hypermarkets are all contributing to the market's expansion.
Yet the West is no longer the only region where frozen pizza is popular. Consumers are more knowledgeable about the newest culinary trends, like frozen pizza, thanks to globalization. As a result, frozen goods are slowly making their way into Asian markets. Impressive possibilities are already predicted by experts for China, India, South Korea, and other nations.
