Rising Consumption of Frozen Foods is Driving Europe Frozen Snacks Market

Increasing consumption of frozen foods has been witnessed in the region owing to its nutritious value and availability of gluten-free alternatives. Frozen foods keep their minerals and vitamins with no change to the protein, fat, or carbohydrate content. In certain instances, frozen foods have more minerals and vitamins rather than fresh as fresh foods lose minerals and vitamins with time while freezing preserves nutrients. This, in turn, is contributing to the adoption of frozen snacks that are low in fat and calories and high in filling nutrients such as protein and fiber. Significant availability of the working-age population is also a key factor in driving the demand for frozen snacks. As per the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), in 2018, the percentage of the working-age population (15-64) in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Sweden was 63.8%, 65.0%, 62.1%, 64.0%, and 62.4%, respectively.
