This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 0.8% over the five-year period. Year-on-year growth is consistent at around 0.8%, indicating moderate but steady expansion in this sector.
Future trends to watch for include shifts towards sustainable and plant-based alternatives, potentially influencing the meat-based segment. Additionally, economic factors such as inflation and consumer spending power will impact market dynamics and demand for prepared meals.
