Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Ready-to-Eat Food Market
The COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented challenges for many sectors in early 2020. Lockdowns, border restrictions, travel bans, manufacturing discontinuation, and other safety measures rolled out by governments as per the guidelines of the WHO, and national health ministries hampered the manufacturing operations. On the other hand, the COVID-19 outbreak positively impacted the ready-to-eat food market as consumers and retailers were stockpiling convenience food products with longer shelves. Also, consumers looking for healthier packaged food and beverage products to boost immunity were alarmed by the COVID-19 impact. Then, manufacturers of RTE products focused on healthy and nutritious products with enrichment of proteins and other nutritional values, which stimulated the demand for ready-to-eat food products during the pandemic.

The market findings and base year market size calculations are validated from supply as well as demand side. Demand side validations are based on macro-economic factor analysis and benchmarks for respective regions and countries. In case of supply side validations, revenues of major companies are estimated (in case not available) based on industry benchmark, approximate number of employees, product portfolio, and primary interviews revenues are gathered. Further revenue from target product/service segment is assessed to avoid overshooting of market statistics. In case of heavy deviations between supply and demand side values, all thes steps are repeated to achieve synchronization.
