Following on from the news that the UK Food and Grocery Market is set for rapid growth, July saw the announcement that sales in the frozen food sector have now reached £6.1 billion.
Recent statistics released by Kantar Worldpanel show that over the past twelve months the retail sales of frozen foods in the UK have grown by 5.4%, bringing them up to £6.1 billion.
Savoury foods that have been particularly big drivers of the market, especially frozen pizza, and frozen bread and savoury bakery goods. These market elements altogether now have a combined increase of more than £100 million, year on year, representing 16% of the total value of the frozen food market.
Similarly, ice cream did particularly well in the 52 weeks up until June 2018, representing 7.7% of the frozen food market’s value. As you might expect, the recent heatwave did wonders for the sales of ice cream, which saw a recent spike in the summer months, with volumes still expected to rise further before the end of the year.
