According to the report, rising demand for convenient food options has been identified as a key driver for market growth. Some of how this impact has been felt include:
The need for more convenient food options has increased dramatically over the last few years in Japan, which has been one of the driving factors in the frozen pizza market. The current shift can be mostly explained by shifting consumer lifestyles, especially in the cities, where time-demanding lives, two-income families, and people living alone are becoming a part and parcel of the lifestyle. These demographic trends have generated a rising desire to consume practical and easy-to-cook food that needs less effort and whose taste and value remain the same.
Frozen pizza perfectly addresses this requirement as it provides a ready-to-eat product that needs only a few minutes to cook and thus is ideal for those people who want to have a quick lunch but are not ready to compromise on taste. Its long shelf life further justifies the popularity of frozen pizza, reducing food wastage and ensuring meal flexibility to plan.
In addition, frozen pizza is now available in convenience stores and e-commerce food markets like never before. Developments in freezing technologies have also enhanced the quality of the products, enabling frozen pizzas to compete with fresh and restaurant-manufactured varieties.
Consumers will still rely on convenient foods such as frozen pizza, as more will demand time-saving alternatives in food solutions, and the brands will be encouraged to diversify their product lines and invest in new products to accommodate the changing needs.
