They offer indulgent flavor and consistent quality while saving time, making them ideal for busy lifestyles and on-the-go consumption. For example, in July 2024, according to the American Frozen Food Institute, a US-based non-profit organization, frozen food retail dollar growth rose from 1.6% in the fourth quarter of 2023 to 2.9% in the first quarter of 2024.
