Owing to the hectic work style, consumers have comparatively less time for cooking at home which has propelled the demand for frozen products such as frozen potatoes, ready meals, meat, and fish. The frozen meat segment is expected to remain one of the largest segments on account of new product launches including on the go snack options by Conagra and Nestle. Moreover, easy access of such products in brick and mortar stores across the country is expected to keep the momentum of the segment over the next few years.

Covid-19 Impacts:
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a major threat to South Africa's frozen food market in addition to concerns about inflation and supply-chain disruptions. Due to imposed lockdown and social distancing norms, major product traces were at a halt as well as production of these products witnessed a decline. The labour force was also weak during the pandemic. However, frozen food sales surged during the COVID-19 lockdown period as consumers frequently turned to the freezer for a variety of meal occasions. Players in the space took advantage of new and innovative opportunities in functional ingredients, ready-to-eat meals, and color-preserving clean label agents. Meanwhile, sustainability in frozen foods was elevated through eco-centric packaging models. This change in consumer behaviour and preference regarding health benefits is projected to increase the sales of frozen food by 2027.
