The price per kilogram of prepared meals in France increased from €5.57 in 2010 to €6.37 in 2020. The trend reflects fluctuations with notable increases in certain years, such as between 2012 and 2013, and between 2016 and 2017. Among these changes, the period from 2016 to 2019 saw a consistent yearly increment with a minor decline only in 2020.
For the coming years, factors influencing future trends include changes in consumer preferences towards healthier options and sustainability, impacts of inflation, and shifts due to economic conditions post-pandemic, which could further drive prices higher within the European market context.
