The growing urbanisation in emerging economies is creating chances for innovation in the packaged food industry. This justification encourages food producers to roll out new products that meet evolving consumer expectations, which is raising demand for high-end bulk food ingredients.

Customers’ growing preference for plant-based ingredients and cleaner labelling are also influencing demand for premium bulk food components. The demand for high-end processed food products will rise as new dietary fads like veganism, keto, and glutton-free take hold.

Besides this, high consumption of ready meals due to hectic schedules and increasing per capita expenditure are urging brands to expand production operations to meet the growing consumers’ demand, which in turn is augmenting the bulk food ingredients market growth.

“Convenience and longer shelf life associated with packaged food are propelling sales in the market. Apart from this, sales of bulk food ingredients through online channels, along with demand for gourmet and ready-to-eat meals will continue augmenting market growth,” says the FMI analyst.
