According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Canned Foods Market is accounted for $123.7 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $160.1 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 4.4% during the forecast period. Foods that have been commercially sterilized and sealed in airtight glass jars or metal containers using a thermal processing technique are known as canned foods. Foods are heated using this preservation method to eliminate dangerous enzymes and microbes while preserving nutrients and avoiding spoiling. Through this process, foods can be kept on the shelf for a long time—usually two to five years—without needing to be refrigerated.
According to a scientific study published in Nutrients journal, 8 out of 10 Americans consumed at least one canned food in an average two-week period.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Offer extended shelf life
Canned foods provide an extended shelf life by preserving nutrients and preventing spoilage caused by air, light, or microorganisms. This makes them ideal for consumers seeking long-lasting, convenient food options. The durability of canned products also supports their use in emergency supplies and remote areas with limited access to fresh food. Additionally, the ability to store canned foods without refrigeration appeals to cost-conscious and sustainability-focused consumers, driving market demand.
Restraint:
Health concerns
Health concerns related to canned foods act as a significant restraint on market growth. Consumers often perceive canned products as less nutritious than fresh alternatives due to the potential presence of preservatives, high sodium levels, or BPA in packaging. The growing preference for organic and fresh foods further limits demand for canned items. Manufacturers face pressure to address these concerns by developing healthier formulations and adopting BPA-free packaging solutions.
Opportunity:
Expanding product variety
Manufacturers are diversifying offerings with organic, low-sodium, and premium options to meet evolving consumer preferences. Innovations like ready-to-cook meals, exotic fruits, and plant-based canned products attract health-conscious and convenience-driven buyers. Additionally, introducing region-specific flavors caters to local tastes, broadening the market appeal and driving sales.
Threat:
Competition from alternatives
Alternatives are a major source of competition in the canned foods market. As consumers seek out more convenient, fresh, and healthful food options, demand for alternatives such as frozen meals, ready-to-eat meals, and meal kits has increased. These alternatives are perceived to be of higher quality, taste, and nutritional value than canned foods, so manufacturers of canned foods must stay innovative and adapt to stay competitive, regain market share, and satisfy changing consumer preferences.
Covid-19 Impact:
The Covid-19 pandemic significantly impacted the canned food market. Lockdowns disrupted supply chains and increased production costs due to labor shortages. However, demand surged as consumers stockpiled non-perishable items for their convenience and long shelf life during uncertainties. While economic slowdowns affected purchasing power in some regions, the hygienic appeal of canned foods sustained their popularity, ensuring steady market growth.
The canned ready meals segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The canned ready meals segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period due to its convenience and suitability for busy lifestyles. These meals require minimal preparation time, making them appealing to working professionals and students. Additionally, advancements in flavor profiles and nutritional content enhance their attractiveness. The segment's versatility in offering diverse cuisines further supports its widespread adoption among global consumers.
The online retail segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Over the forecast period, the online retail segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate due to increasing digitalization and consumer preference for e-commerce platforms. Online channels offer convenience through doorstep delivery, competitive pricing, and access to a wide range of products. The pandemic accelerated this trend as consumers shifted toward contactless shopping methods, boosting online sales of canned foods.
Region with largest share:
During the forecast period, North America is expected to hold the largest market share due to high consumption of ready-to-eat foods driven by busy lifestyles. The region’s advanced distribution networks ensure product availability across urban and rural areas. Additionally, growing awareness of sustainable packaging options aligns with consumer preferences in this region. Factors such as busy lifestyles and a large existing consumer base contribute to the region's market dominance.
Region with highest CAGR:
Over the forecast period, Asia Pacific is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR due to rapid urbanization and increasing disposable incomes in countries like China and India. The rising working population drives demand for convenient food solutions like canned products. Growing exposure to Western dietary habits supports market expansion in this region. Furthermore, changing lifestyles and increasing urbanization are also contributing to the expanding market in this region.
