The U.S. frozen food market size is estimated to reach USD 132.67 billion in 2030 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 8.1% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market demand for frozen food in the U.S. is increasing, driven by factors such as changing consumer lifestyles, improved technology in food preservation, and a growing preference for convenience and nutrition. As many Americans lead busy lives with less time for meal preparation, frozen foods offer a quick, accessible option without compromising on taste or nutrition. The rise in dual-income households and longer working hours have also bolstered demand for ready-to-eat and easy-to-prepare meal options, which the frozen food segment caters to effectively.
Health trends have further impacted this market, with companies introducing frozen foods that cater to dietary preferences, including organic, plant-based, gluten-free, and low-calorie options. This variety appeals to health-conscious consumers looking for convenient yet nutritious meal choices. Innovations in freezing technology have also enhanced the quality and nutritional retention of frozen foods, making them more appealing to consumers concerned about food quality?.
In addition, supply chain advancements and expanded availability of frozen food in e-commerce channels have made it easier for consumers to access a wide range of products. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated this shift as consumers sought out shelf-stable options with longer storage lives, favoring frozen food for its convenience and reduced food waste potential. These trends are expected to keep driving growth in the U.S. frozen food market as consumers prioritize both convenience and quality in their food choices.
