Challenges Confronting the United States Frozen Food Market
Perception of Lower Nutritional Value
Despite technological advancements in freezing operations, there are still some customers who perceive frozen foods as less healthy than fresh foods. Concerns regarding the presence of added preservatives, artificial additives, and excessive sodium content in certain frozen foods present a challenge to market growth. Promoting the nutritional quality and minimal processing of frozen fruits and vegetables is key to overcoming this challenge.
Supply Chain and Storage Constraints
Cold transport, cold storage, and logistics are dependent heavily on frozen foods. Rising fuel prices, supply chain uncertainty, and labor shortages cause rising supply chain costs as well as poor quality and poor availability. The suppliers must supply capital-hungry cold equipment to keep growing demand levels at a rising cost. Small and medium enterprises also find it cumbersome to distribute frozen foods across the geography of a region.
