The Impact Of Frozen Food Items Towards The Market Trends Of Asian Countries

Introduction

According to a recent report from Future Market Insights, the demand for frozen and ready meals is expected to result in stable demand in the near future. However, given the global complications of cold chain manufacturing and the production of frozen foods, the report indicates that barriers to market growth persist.

According to the report, the global frozen food market will expand at a modest annual growth rate of 4.3%, with estimated income expected to exceed $ 47 billion. The Asia pacific frozen foods market is expected to be the fastest and fastest expansion in the forecasting period in terms of both production and sales. Consumers in the Asia Pacific region tend to be more inclined to frozen prepared meals for fresh meals due to easier reheating and thawing compared to cooking from the beginning.

Ready meals are a new trend in current market of Asian countries. This report concludes the impact of frozen food items towards the market trends of Asian countries. I had selected two countries for this study and compare the PEST factors.

Over View to the selected countries

Japan

Japan is the third largest economy in the world and has achieved remarkable growth in the second half of the 20th century after the end of World War II. His role in the international community is reasonable. This is an important donor country, the capital of the world and the source of credit. More than three quarters of the population live in a huge city that stretches across the coasts of four Japanese mountain forests. Japan's rapid expansion after the war, fueled by the hugely successful auto electronics industry, spiraled out of control in the 1990s due to the accumulation of debt that was not addressed by the sequential government.

Japanese meals will reach 2% CAGR at the 2017 list price and will reach 2.1 trillion yen in 2022. This is because Japanese consumers are more likely to pursue the convenience of pursuing time and effort through their busy lifestyle. Households are expected to continue shrinking and households are expected to maintain a high rate of quota over the budget for all household types over the forecast period.

Gazprom, a state gas monopoly, still accounts for a large proportion of European needs. Since 2000, President Vladimir Putin, the dominant political figure in Russia, has stepped up his control of state agencies and the media, and has recently begun stressing intense nationalism and hostility towards the West.

In 2015, 10 million tons of frozen vegetables were sold in Russia, which was confirmed at this point, an increase of 3% over the previous level. The sanctions have caught fire among domestic Russian producers, improving the competitiveness and product range according to changing customs. However, most of the raw material supplies come from licensed countries, and foreign producers have a gap.

66% of all fish sold in Russia (except herring) are frozen and sold. From 2014 to 2015, the per capita consumption increased from 20.9 kg to 22 kg, which is still below the recommended level of Russian scientists (23.7 kg), so that fish is a promising growth area. In 2014, 68% of Russian frozen fish were imported before the sanctions.

PEST Analysis

PEST is stands for external political, economic, social and technical factors that typically affect business and performance. PEST, developed in 1967 by Francis Aguilar, a professor at Harcard University, can work alone or in combination with other tools such as Porter's Five Forces and SWOT analysis to determine the perspective of the entire organization.

Technology issues affect the way an organization provides products and services to the marketplace.

According to Geert Hofstede's analysis, you can describe the culture of each country. These ideas were based on a large-scale research project on national cultural differences between subsidiaries of multinational corporations (IBM) in 64 countries. A survey was conducted on 23 elite countries, commercial aviation pilots in 23 countries, seniors in 15 countries and officials in 14 countries. Together, these studies have identified and verified four independent dimensions of difference in national culture, added later in the fifth dimension.

Japan's Lady meal is expected to reach 1.9 trillion yen in 2017, thanks to the continued support of busy consumers. As Japanese consumers lose time to cook at home, they continue to enjoy prepared meals as an option for lunch and dinner. The growth of convenience foods was largely confirmed by an increase in women in Japan, which had a strong demand for cooking time and effort. This trend has encouraged large manufacturers to launch new products for female consumers and contributed to overall meal growth in Japan during the evaluation period. Changes in population dynamics, such as an increase in one-person households, also led to an increase in meals in Japan. With urbanization, the size of households is shrinking year by year, and the proportion of workers in large cities is higher than in rural areas in Japan.

This encourages large manufacturers in Japan who are ready to launch products for this consumer segment, such as one-piece products for men and women. Due to the diversification of Japanese consumer types, the product type was flawed, but manufacturers expanded their product portfolio for different consumer groups. For example, large frozen pasta products are well accepted by male consumers. For health-conscious consumers, lunch boxes that reduce carbohydrates and vegetables, Japanese-style meals, etc. are also well received.

Conclusion

The most important factor for eating frozen food comes from the kitchen itself. Most women in the Western Region do not spend much time cooking, they choose foods that can be eaten immediately. In such a scenario, relatives continue to buy frozen foods and make the housewife's request. Meanwhile, house cooks, chefs and other cooking experts cannot promote the use of frozen foods and continue to eat complicated cooked meals. Another factor in the global growth of the frozen food market is the busy working-class lifestyle. An active lifestyle has encouraged people to consume frozen foods every time they spend their free time. As the availability of frozen foods became easier, consumer buying patterns for food products were impacted and frozen foods were included in the daily list of consumer goods.
