Ready meals, also known as convenience or pre-packaged meals, are pre-cooked and pre-portioned food products that are prepared and packaged for quick and easy consumption. These meals are typically available in various forms, such as frozen, refrigerated, or shelf-stable, and encompass a wide range of dishes, including entrees, side dishes, soups, and frozen desserts. Ready meals offer consumers a convenient solution for busy lifestyles, allowing them to enjoy a variety of dishes without the need for extensive cooking or preparation, making them especially popular for on-the-go or time-constrained individuals.
The ready meals market is witnessing multiple collaborations and technological advancements, for instance in Aug 2023 HelloFresh launched its ready meals service, Factor, in Europe, beginning with the Netherlands and Flanders. Factor, which boasts a 60% market share in the US, competes with supermarket meal offerings and offers flexible subscriptions with chef- and dietitian-formulated meals tailored to customer demand.
