COVID-19 impact analysis:

The frozen food business in India was disrupted due to the pandemic and several prominent manufacturers incurred huge losses due to the shutdown of food joints. However, the overall market witnessed a mixed impact experiencing both positive and negative growth.

On the one hand, the demand from food service sectors declined and on the other hand, the online sale of packaged ready-to-eat snacks skyrocketed. Consumers seeking frozen snacks in local flavors helped bring in new product ranges during lockdown. Consumers’ perception toward the processed frozen food products changed positively as the manufacture and packaging of these items were done in a hygienic way ensuring sanitization.

Online orders of frozen foods and groceries also increased during the nationwide lockdown. The government also introduced policies such as Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH) which have provided financial support for building and enhancing cold storage facilities in India, amid the COVID-19 crisis.
