Prepared Food Equipment Market Dynamics:
Driver: Rise in income to drive the demand for prepared & convenience foods
The rise in disposable income due to growth in the economy, especially in emerging countries such as India and China, has led to an increase in demand for prepared & convenience foods. With the rising demand for convenience and ready-to-eat (RTE) food, customers are also concerned about the nutritional and health benefits of such food items before consumption. This is achieved by automating or integrating the overall processes, which help maintain food quality and nutritional value.
