The global frozen vegetables market is projected to reach $34,973 million by 2023, registering a CAGR of 4.7% from 2017 to 2023, according to a new report published by Allied Market Research, Portland, Ore.

The report, "Frozen Vegetables Market by Product, End User, and Distribution Channel: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2017-2023,” revealed that in 2016, the frozen corn segment accounted for approximately one-third share of the global market, in terms of both value and volume.

A hectic lifestyle and high disposable income of individuals have increased the popularity of convenience food, which drives the frozen vegetable market. Growth of the retail network in emerging economies, such as India, China and Brazil, has led to increased availability of frozen vegetables, supplementing the market growth. However, negative perception of consumers related to nutritional content of frozen food, high cost of freezing technology and poor freezing facilities in semi-urban and rural areas may impede the market growth.

In 2016, the frozen corn segment generated the highest revenue, registering a CAGR of 6.0% from 2017 to 2023.
