Market Insights
Changing consumer lifestyles have led to a shift in food patterns, thereby leading to an amalgamation of global food preferences, tastes, and habits. Consumer inclination toward processed and convenience foods is increasing across the globe. This is further leading to changes in the businesses of food product retailers, suppliers, and manufacturers in terms of mitigating the growing demand, especially for processed food products. Factors such as improved freezing technologies, retail distribution, changing demographic factors, and efficient cold chain logistics, among others, are fueling the demand for frozen or processed food products among consumers.
Thus, demand for individual quick freezing (IQF) technology, which is the maintenance and preservation of a particular product at a low temperature, is growing. IQF technology facilitated an augmented shelf life of the product while retaining its flavor and taste.
Companies operating in the IQF fruit market are focused on developing enhanced technology for preserving food products as opposed to other methods, such as drying or canning. Nowadays, there is an increased inclination among consumers towards healthy foods, including those with high nutritional value and long shelf life. All the aforementioned factors are leading to increased consumption of IQF fruits.
For instance, the demand for berries in dairy food products is increasing significantly, which is expected to boost the overall IQF fruit market’s growth. Moreover, product launches, coupled with their perfect positioning catering to the demand for frozen products among consumers, especially in Asia Pacific, are anticipated to contribute towards IQF fruit market growth. IQF fruits’ distribution network includes hotels, restaurants, the food industry, and retail outlets, resulting in substantial demand for IQF fruits in the near future.
