Restraining Factors

Cold chain logistics is an essential requirement for the storage of frozen food in all nations. Emerging nations are still lacking in the infrastructure of cold chains and are not able to provide safe products to their populace. Though these foods’ shelf life is very long, adequacy of infrastructure leads to the wastage of these food products resulting in a loss to its producers. Investments are very less in developing nations due to the financial crisis, which in turn is hampering the growth of cold chain businesses in this area. However, emerging nations have a lot of lucrative opportunities for funding on account of the changing consumer preferences towards frozen foods and the increasing acceptance of them.

According to Nielsen Market Research Company, frozen and shelf-stable foods were prominent in shopping carts during the COVID-19 pandemic. Consumers stocked up on these food items which helped to reduce the number of trips they needed to make to the grocery store. Nielsen data shows that frozen foods were in the top five food categories with significant sales growth from March to June 2020

While some consumer purchasing habits, such as buying frozen products, may extend beyond the pandemic, other factors may also influence frozen food sales in the future. The impact of the pandemic, and therefore the impact on purchasing power, is not equal among consumer groups. Financially impacted consumer groups may adopt new shopping strategies, for instance, some may opt for more frozen foods over fresh foods to reduce costs. Apart from pandemic impacts, frozen food is one of the most convenient ways for consumers to find meal solutions. In recent years, food manufacturers have given the frozen food category a sharper focus by developing a greater number of tasty and nutritionally-rich products.
