Frozen Snacks Market to Hits USD 250,736.0 Million by 2033 | FMI

The global frozen snacks market is expected to experience substantial growth from 2023 to 2033. According to Future Market Insights, the market is set to exceed 136,981 million in 2023 and is forecasted to reach USD 250,736.0 million by 2033. The market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6% during this period.

The growth in the frozen snacks market is largely driven by the convenience these products provide. As consumers increasingly seek to manage their hectic schedules, they are opting for packaged foods and frozen snacks due to their quick preparation. This trend is expected to sustain and boost sales throughout the forecast period.

The World Bank projects that two-thirds of the global population will reside in urban areas within the next decade. Consequently, the swift pace of urbanization and the busy lifestyles of millennials and working professionals are expected to drive increased adoption of frozen snacks.

“Wide availability of vegan, gluten-free and keto frozen snacks, along with increasing sales through online channels across emerging economies will augment the growth in the market in the forthcoming years,” says an FMI analyst.
