The global packaged food market was valued USD 2976.41 Billion in 2020 and is forecast to grow at CAGR of 6.27% in value terms, to reach over USD 4261.36 billion by 2026. The global packaged food market is witnessing consistent growth, owing to the improving standards of living of people, increasing consumption of healthy food, and changing consumer tastes and preferences.

Consumers are becoming more aware of the importance of consuming gluten-free, low-carbohydrate, high-fiber baked goods, and they are requesting novel options. This has encouraged packaged food companies to fortify their goods in order to accommodate the increased demand of health-conscious consumers, such as Tyson Foods recently launched a new line of plant-based products under the brand First Pride, which offers high-quality protein products. These products include bites, nuggets, and strips made with plants. The ingredients used in the products are bamboo fiber, soy protein and wheat protein, etc.
The packaged food world can be broken down by what's inside (product type), where you buy it (distribution channel), where it's sold (region), and who's selling it (company). When it comes to where you buy, you've got your massive hypermarkets and supermarkets, your everyday departmental retailers and convenience stores, and of course, online retail. Right now, the big guys – hypermarkets and supermarkets – are leading the pack, thanks to their huge and varied selection. But things are changing! We're expecting online retail to really take off, especially after everyone got used to having groceries delivered during the COVID-19 pandemic – it felt like the safest, easiest option, right? These online options are predicted to boom! Plus, let's be honest, life's hectic! These easy, tech-driven services are just so much more convenient. And because of this convenience, and with the continued e-commerce explosion, expect online channels to grab a bigger slice of the market. They also cut down on all the complicated steps in a long supply chain, making everything simpler.
