Summary

In value terms, the total western European market for chilled prepared foods was worth over EUR14bn. Value sales of chilled foods are particularly high compared with many frozen or ambient equivalents, reflecting the much higher prices that these products typically command.

The UK has the region's largest market, due to the high household penetration of both microwave ovens and refrigerators, along with the trend towards convenience foods and the decline of formal mealtimes. Analysed by sector, the chilled prepared bakery products category is the largest, although sales of chilled prepared sandwiches and savoury pastry products remain heavily biased towards the UK and France.

This report updates the previous LFI study carried out in 2003, and provides insight on where the market is heading at this crucial time, as some consumers are now turning away from certain convenience foods. The report covers the following product sectors:

Ready meals
Pizza
Coated foods
Pasta
Soups & sauces
Prepared salads
Bakery products
