What are the key drivers behind the rapid expansion of the food packaging and processing market?
The increasing demand for convenience food is expected to propel the growth of the food packaging and processing market going forward. Convenience food refers to food products that are designed to be quick and easy to prepare or consume. The increasing demand for convenience food is due to busy lifestyles, the desire for quick meal solutions, and the need for efficient food preparation in a fast-paced world. Food packaging and processing help convenience food by extending shelf life, preserving freshness, and simplifying preparation, making it quick and easy for consumers to enjoy ready-to-eat meals. For instance, in March 2024, the Bank of Ayudhya Public Company Limited, a Thailand-based commercial banking company, reported that the domestic market for Thai-made ready-to-eat food is expected to grow by 3.0-4.0% annually from 2024 to 2026. Additionally, in 2022, the ready-to-eat food industry had a total domestic and export sales volume of 482.4 thousand tons, with a value of USD 2.0 billion. Therefore, the increasing demand for convenience food is driving the growth of the food packaging and processing market.
