Key themes
Private label
The quality of private label products continues to improve, which
is proving highly appealing to value-conscious consumers.
Indeed, private labels are excelling on more than price, bringing
products to the market that are satisfying indulgence and health
demands and effectively replicating branded innovation.
Convenience
Everyday time pressures, stresses, and work-life balance
problems that contemporary consumers experience inevitably
force them to look for easy and quick-to-prepare meals so that
they do not have to spend most of their leisure time cooking.
Innovative packaging formats that facilitate quick preparation and
consumption are poised for growth in the future.
Simplicity
Simplifying the shopping process is key to attract time-bound
consumers. Ready meal manufacturers should capitalize on
food-alcohol pairings to boost purchase.

Moving foodservice brands into the retail market
Many foodservice operators have been sensitive to changes in
consumer behavior and are licensing their brands to
manufacturers to produce their branded products for the retail
market to open up new revenue streams. In the ultra-
competitive retail market, foodservice branding can help to
create a point of differentiation. This can make the consumer
feel that they are getting a foodservice experience in their
home.
Branded foodservices products now appear in the retail
ready meal space
With the rise in consumers preparing dishes at home,
foodservice operators are moving their brands into the ready
meal space as highlighted in the examples on the right. For
example, Italian food chain Pizza Express offers a range of
products including mains that retail between £4.50 and £6 and
highlights how a foodservice brand can be a powerful counter
to the commoditizing and devaluing effect of own label on the
ready meal category.

Ready meals suffer from ingrained negative perceptions
Frozen ready meals in particular face a challenge to alter
perceptions
In relation to frozen ready meals, a significant proportion of
consumers (often wrongly) believe that freezing food
compromises its nutritional quality. This is supported by
consumer data from a survey conducted on behalf of the Policy
Studies Institute in March 2010, which highlighted that almost
one in five UK consumers believe that frozen vegetables do not
count towards daily recommended intake. These perceptions
represent a significant barrier to growth in the frozen food
category.
Increasing skepticism about processed foods
While ready meals are increasingly becoming an essential part of
many consumers' lives, consumers do not want to give up eating
healthy foods and are therefore continuing to look for processed
products that do not significantly differ from their fresh
equivalents in terms of nutritional levels. The challenge for the
ready meals industry is winning over skeptical consumers to the
idea that health and convenience, which is often seen as
mutually exclusive, can be effectively combined, and that ready
meal products have health advantages (such as the preservation
of nutrients).

Potential for new product innovations is spurred by consumers' willingness to try new foods
Foreign cultures drive diversity in food innovation
Exposure to other cultures heavily influences consumers' taste in
food. Highlighting this, over four in 10 consumers (43%) globally
expressed this view in 2011, compared to only 20% who did not
believe that their taste had changed due to exposure to other
cultures. With consumers worldwide expressing a willingness to
experiment with new cuisines, ready meal manufacturers would
benefit from this shrinking-world scenario by marketing local
ingredients from one region as a premium product in a different
part of the world, where the same ingredients would be
considered "exotic."
Consumers are open to experimentation
Globally, two thirds of consumers express an active interest in
trying out different foods or making new things to eat¹. The
majority of consumers are open to new and exotic flavors,
although the appeal diminishes with age. Opportunities thus exist
to develop more exotic and experimental product flavors in the
ready meals category to appeal to consumer desire to try new
things.

Smart & Connected
New consumer connections
The consumer landscape has been
fundamentally impacted by the advent and
growing adoption of digital technologies.
Consumers are no longer passively
interacting with brands on static webpages;
Internet utilization has facilitated new and
novel ways of connecting with fellow
consumers and discussing brands. As a
result, consumers now have the ability and
confidence to communicate with
companies, obtain product information, and
share their brand experiences in more
unique and engaging ways.
Proactive versus reactive
The challenge for industry players is to
strike a balance between reaching out to
consumers online (thereby strategically
crafting brand communication) and allowing
brand conversations to take place
organically between consumers (messages
that cannot be controlled but are far more
credible than brand-led communication).
Digital technologies are transforming relationships between brands and consumers

  • 3. Easy & Affordable Key themes Private label The quality of private label products continues to improve, which is proving highly appealing to value-conscious consumers. Indeed, private labels are excelling on more than price, bringing products to the market that are satisfying indulgence and health demands and effectively replicating branded innovation. Convenience Everyday time pressures, stresses, and work-life balance problems that contemporary consumers experience inevitably force them to look for easy and quick-to-prepare meals so that they do not have to spend most of their leisure time cooking. Innovative packaging formats that facilitate quick preparation and consumption are poised for growth in the future. Simplicity Simplifying the shopping process is key to attract time-bound consumers. Ready meal manufacturers should capitalize on food-alcohol pairings to boost purchase.

  • 4. Moving foodservice brands into the retail market Many foodservice operators have been sensitive to changes in consumer behavior and are licensing their brands to manufacturers to produce their branded products for the retail market to open up new revenue streams. In the ultra- competitive retail market, foodservice branding can help to create a point of differentiation. This can make the consumer feel that they are getting a foodservice experience in their home. Branded foodservices products now appear in the retail ready meal space With the rise in consumers preparing dishes at home, foodservice operators are moving their brands into the ready meal space as highlighted in the examples on the right. For example, Italian food chain Pizza Express offers a range of products including mains that retail between £4.50 and £6 and highlights how a foodservice brand can be a powerful counter to the commoditizing and devaluing effect of own label on the ready meal category.

  • 5. Health & Wellness Ready meals suffer from ingrained negative perceptions Frozen ready meals in particular face a challenge to alter perceptions In relation to frozen ready meals, a significant proportion of consumers (often wrongly) believe that freezing food compromises its nutritional quality. This is supported by consumer data from a survey conducted on behalf of the Policy Studies Institute in March 2010, which highlighted that almost one in five UK consumers believe that frozen vegetables do not count towards daily recommended intake. These perceptions represent a significant barrier to growth in the frozen food category. Increasing skepticism about processed foods While ready meals are increasingly becoming an essential part of many consumers' lives, consumers do not want to give up eating healthy foods and are therefore continuing to look for processed products that do not significantly differ from their fresh equivalents in terms of nutritional levels. The challenge for the ready meals industry is winning over skeptical consumers to the idea that health and convenience, which is often seen as mutually exclusive, can be effectively combined, and that ready meal products have health advantages (such as the preservation of nutrients).

  • 6. Sensory & Indulgence Potential for new product innovations is spurred by consumers' willingness to try new foods Foreign cultures drive diversity in food innovation Exposure to other cultures heavily influences consumers' taste in food. Highlighting this, over four in 10 consumers (43%) globally expressed this view in 2011, compared to only 20% who did not believe that their taste had changed due to exposure to other cultures. With consumers worldwide expressing a willingness to experiment with new cuisines, ready meal manufacturers would benefit from this shrinking-world scenario by marketing local ingredients from one region as a premium product in a different part of the world, where the same ingredients would be considered "exotic." Consumers are open to experimentation Globally, two thirds of consumers express an active interest in trying out different foods or making new things to eat¹. The majority of consumers are open to new and exotic flavors, although the appeal diminishes with age. Opportunities thus exist to develop more exotic and experimental product flavors in the ready meals category to appeal to consumer desire to try new things.

  • 7. Smart & Connected New consumer connections The consumer landscape has been fundamentally impacted by the advent and growing adoption of digital technologies. Consumers are no longer passively interacting with brands on static webpages; Internet utilization has facilitated new and novel ways of connecting with fellow consumers and discussing brands. As a result, consumers now have the ability and confidence to communicate with companies, obtain product information, and share their brand experiences in more unique and engaging ways. Proactive versus reactive The challenge for industry players is to strike a balance between reaching out to consumers online (thereby strategically crafting brand communication) and allowing brand conversations to take place organically between consumers (messages that cannot be controlled but are far more credible than brand-led communication).
