Frozen Foods in the U.S.: Dinners/Entrees, Pizza, Vegetables,
Appetizers/Snacks, and Breakfast Foods, 2nd Edition

April 1, 2009
To stretch their food dollars, cash-strapped consumers have been reining in their
spending and changing the way they shop. Many are trading down—going to
restaurants less often for dinner, reconsidering which products really are necessities,
and switching to brands and product types with higher perceived value. The good news
for the frozen foods industry is that consumers appear to be cutting back on away-from-
home meal purchases and buying more convenient frozen items to eat at home or to
„brown bag” to work for lunch. Even as the nation begins to pull out of recession in late
2009 or early 2010 frozen foods will continue to be buoyed by new convenience- and
health-targeted introductions, with sales forecast to grow 25% between 2008 and 2013
to reach $64.8 billion.

This Packaged Facts report examines the U.S. market for frozen foods and beverages
sold to consumers through the entire retail spectrum, focusing primarily on savory meal-
type items and meal components. Following a comprehensive “Market Overview”
chapter, separate chapters are devoted to the Center Plate,
Vegetables/Appetizers/Snacks/Sides, and Breakfast Foods classifications—each of
which focuses on high-growth product categories and market trends and opportunities.
The report provides extensive retail sales breakouts, past and future, along with a
thorough examination of market drivers, the competitive situation, marketer and brand
shares, marketing trends and consumer trends. Special features include extensive data
presented in easy-to-read and practical charts, tables and graphs. The report also
covers topics including organic and “green” appeals, competition from fresh meal
solutions, shifts in the retail landscape and global new product trends.

The report extensively documents ongoing and emerging product trends, using data
from Datamonitor‟s Product Launch Analytics tracking service to quantify and categorize
new product introductions. Via Information Resources, Inc.‟s InfoScan Review data for
mass-market channels, the report tracks sales and marketer/brand shares across five
categories (Dinners/Entrees, Pizza, Vegetables, Appetizers/Snacks, and Breakfast
Foods), while relying on SPINSscan data to document sales and brand shares through
natural supermarkets. Simmons Market Research Bureau, BIGresearch, and Packaged
Facts‟ own online consumer survey data form the basis of an in-depth examination of
consumer trends including attitudes toward frozen foods and related trends such as the
economy and healthy eating, as well as product and brand penetration levels and
preferences.

Market Insights: A Selection From The Report



Focus on Natural Supermarkets

Prior to the 1990s, few natural food stores in the United States were large enough to
meet the supermarket definition of $2 million or more in annual sales; retailers were
mostly independents operating fewer than 10 outlets. But the funky health food stores of
yesteryear have morphed into large natural foods supermarkets that are modern, bright
and rival mainstream supermarkets in product range. Besides focusing on organic and
natural formulations—and on selling products from environmentally friendly producers—
natural food retailers emphasize high quality. The price premiums associated with such
foods dictate that most stores be located near households with above-average incomes.
As a result, the growth of natural foods supermarkets has taken place mostly in major
metropolitan areas and affluent suburbs. Whole Foods Market, Inc. is by far the largest
natural foods supermarket chain, with approximately $8 billion in sales in the fiscal year
ending September 28, 2008. The chain acquired its main rival, Wild Oats Markets, in
August 2007.

Although still outperforming the overall grocery sector, major natural supermarket
retailers report that they are feeling the negative effects of the down economy. For
example, Whole Foods, which has 271 stores, plans to reduce its number of store
openings to 15 by September 2009 from the 25 to 30 announced in May 2008, and has
lowered its sales outlook for 2009, saying it expects sales growth of 6%-10% for the
year, down from its previously stated 25%-30%. The company has also implemented
cost containment measures including reductions in capital spending and the suspension
of quarterly dividends. Commenting on the moves, Whole Foods CEO John Mackey told
the press that “Our business model has been highly successful, and we remain very
bullish on our growth prospects… however, the challenging economic environment
appears to be negatively impacting our sales. This, combined with our commitment to
maintaining financial flexibility and investing prudently in our long-term growth, has led
us to take a more conservative approach to our growth and business strategy over the
short term” (company press release, August 2008).

The key frozen food categories in natural foods stores are basically the same as those
in conventional supermarkets: frozen dinners/entrées, frozen pizza, frozen
meat/poultry/seafood, frozen vegetables, frozen appetizers/snacks, frozen desserts,
and frozen breakfast meals, among others. According to Rick Moller, Category Director
of Natural and ...

Frozen foods in the u.s. dinners entrees, pizza, vegetables, appetizerssnacks, and breakfast foods, 2nd edition

  • 1. Get more info on this report! Frozen Foods in the U.S.: Dinners/Entrees, Pizza, Vegetables, Appetizers/Snacks, and Breakfast Foods, 2nd Edition April 1, 2009 To stretch their food dollars, cash-strapped consumers have been reining in their spending and changing the way they shop. Many are trading down—going to restaurants less often for dinner, reconsidering which products really are necessities, and switching to brands and product types with higher perceived value. The good news for the frozen foods industry is that consumers appear to be cutting back on away-from- home meal purchases and buying more convenient frozen items to eat at home or to „brown bag” to work for lunch. Even as the nation begins to pull out of recession in late 2009 or early 2010 frozen foods will continue to be buoyed by new convenience- and health-targeted introductions, with sales forecast to grow 25% between 2008 and 2013 to reach $64.8 billion. This Packaged Facts report examines the U.S. market for frozen foods and beverages sold to consumers through the entire retail spectrum, focusing primarily on savory meal- type items and meal components. Following a comprehensive “Market Overview” chapter, separate chapters are devoted to the Center Plate, Vegetables/Appetizers/Snacks/Sides, and Breakfast Foods classifications—each of which focuses on high-growth product categories and market trends and opportunities. The report provides extensive retail sales breakouts, past and future, along with a thorough examination of market drivers, the competitive situation, marketer and brand shares, marketing trends and consumer trends. Special features include extensive data presented in easy-to-read and practical charts, tables and graphs. The report also covers topics including organic and “green” appeals, competition from fresh meal solutions, shifts in the retail landscape and global new product trends. The report extensively documents ongoing and emerging product trends, using data from Datamonitor‟s Product Launch Analytics tracking service to quantify and categorize new product introductions. Via Information Resources, Inc.‟s InfoScan Review data for mass-market channels, the report tracks sales and marketer/brand shares across five categories (Dinners/Entrees, Pizza, Vegetables, Appetizers/Snacks, and Breakfast Foods), while relying on SPINSscan data to document sales and brand shares through natural supermarkets. Simmons Market Research Bureau, BIGresearch, and Packaged Facts‟ own online consumer survey data form the basis of an in-depth examination of consumer trends including attitudes toward frozen foods and related trends such as the

Additional Information Market Insights: A Selection From The Report Focus on Natural Supermarkets Prior to the 1990s, few natural food stores in the United States were large enough to meet the supermarket definition of $2 million or more in annual sales; retailers were mostly independents operating fewer than 10 outlets. But the funky health food stores of yesteryear have morphed into large natural foods supermarkets that are modern, bright and rival mainstream supermarkets in product range. Besides focusing on organic and natural formulations—and on selling products from environmentally friendly producers— natural food retailers emphasize high quality. The price premiums associated with such foods dictate that most stores be located near households with above-average incomes. As a result, the growth of natural foods supermarkets has taken place mostly in major metropolitan areas and affluent suburbs. Whole Foods Market, Inc. is by far the largest natural foods supermarket chain, with approximately $8 billion in sales in the fiscal year ending September 28, 2008. The chain acquired its main rival, Wild Oats Markets, in August 2007. Although still outperforming the overall grocery sector, major natural supermarket retailers report that they are feeling the negative effects of the down economy. For example, Whole Foods, which has 271 stores, plans to reduce its number of store openings to 15 by September 2009 from the 25 to 30 announced in May 2008, and has lowered its sales outlook for 2009, saying it expects sales growth of 6%-10% for the year, down from its previously stated 25%-30%. The company has also implemented cost containment measures including reductions in capital spending and the suspension of quarterly dividends. Commenting on the moves, Whole Foods CEO John Mackey told the press that “Our business model has been highly successful, and we remain very bullish on our growth prospects… however, the challenging economic environment appears to be negatively impacting our sales. This, combined with our commitment to maintaining financial flexibility and investing prudently in our long-term growth, has led us to take a more conservative approach to our growth and business strategy over the short term” (company press release, August 2008). The key frozen food categories in natural foods stores are basically the same as those in conventional supermarkets: frozen dinners/entrées, frozen pizza, frozen
