Curated Convenience

Restaurant foods are reformatted for those looking for convenient alternatives

Implications - Battling hectic schedules, consumers are replacing leisurely activities like dining out with at-home alternatives. Replacing full-course meals and specialty dishes with microwavable substitutes, these products provide the allure of brand name eateries and curated meals in a more convenient and accessible manner.
Trend Themes
1. Convenient Microwaveable Meals - Opportunity to reformulate traditional meals into a microwavable, on-the-go format, using fresh ingredients and appealing to consumers' busy schedules.
2. Global Cuisines Simplified - Disrupting the prepared food industry with affordable, accessible microwavable options that deliver the flavors and experience of diverse cuisines.
3. Healthy Quick-fix Meals - Offering nutritious, low-calorie but satisfying microwavable meals that cater to the growing demand for health-conscious and time-crunched consumers.
Industry Implications
1. Prepared Foods Industry - Entrepreneurs can introduce new, exciting concepts that adapt traditional foods to the demands of the emerging microwavable food market.
2. Frozen Foods Industry - Innovation in the frozen foods subindustry, offering healthier, fresher options for microwavable meals without compromising on taste.
3. Convenience Store Industry - Convenience stores that expand their microwavable offerings with exotic culinary options will appeal to multicultural consumers looking for fast and wholesome meal alternatives.
