About this Report

About this Report

Whether a market is still developing or has already developed largely determines how an economic downturn will impact meal solutions’ performance. Demand in developing markets tends to suffer as consumers trade down to fresh food, but is more resilient in developed markets as consumers favour convenience and a cheaper alternative to eating out. Regardless, product innovation and communicating a clear health and wellness message remain crucial to boosting sales both during and after a downturn.
