The burgeoning popularity of plant-based frozen products is the major factor driving the growth of the Middle East & Africa frozen food market. Veganism has gained significant traction in recent years. Consumers are highly inclined toward plant-based products as they perceive them to be healthier than conventional products. Additionally, increasing awareness regarding animal protection and environmental sustainability is adding to the popularity of these food products. Registrations for the Veganuary Campaign have increased dramatically over the past few years. Thus, manufacturers of frozen food are launching plant-based products to catch up with the flourishing trend of veganism. For instance, in 2020, Lazy Vegan, a Dutch start-up, released its latest frozen ready meal—gluten-free and soy-free Thai Green Curry. Thus, the growing inclination toward plant-based food, with the popularity of veganism, is expected to bring new trends to the frozen food market in the Middle East and Africa during the forecast period.
