Demand for frozen specialty food packaging is forecast to increase 4.0% per year to $3.1 billion in 2024. Sales gains will be driven by:
Frozen dinners will offer the strongest growth opportunities for frozen specialties packaging suppliers, boosted by factors such as:
Through 2024, trays and folding cartons will remain the leading packaging types used in frozen specialties applications. Folding cartons are widely used with dinners packaged in trays, tubs, cups, and bowls, where they provide protection and billboard space for demonstrating the appearance of dinner items when heated. Trays are favored in these applications for their structural stability, ovenability and microwavability, and (often) recyclability.
The fastest gains among frozen specialties packaging products are expected for bowls due to the rising popularity of convenient, healthy bowl meals. However, bowls will continue to face competition from pouches, which compete with rigid packaging like bowls on cost and source reduction advantages and benefit from expanding applications for self-venting pouches.
Increased work-at-home and remote learning activities during the COVID-19 pandemic boosted at-home meal preparation, which, in turn, prompted consumers to stock up on convenient, long-lasting frozen foods. In addition, panic buying and supply chain issues for fresh and shelf-stable foods encouraged increased purchases from the freezer aisle. Heightened sales of frozen specialties and other frozen foods are expected to carry forward – supporting related packaging demand – as consumers become increasingly accustomed to the convenience of frozen foods and as they become more familiar with the quality and variety of frozen dinners, entrées, and other available items.
