Market Overview

The Global Meal Kit Subscription Market is expected to grow at a high CAGR during the forecasting period (2022-2029).

The concept involves home delivery of pre-portioned ingredients with meal recipes to create specific meals. It was new a few years ago and was expected to be a significant disruptor in the food retail Industry.

Avoiding a trip to the store is the key benefit of meal kit delivery services. Allowing people to bypass this time-consuming grocery store experience was expected to be a big enough driver to sustain the meal kit subscription business.
The simplicity of ordering a meal online, availability of various recipes, and freshness of food allowed entry for multiple companies. Due to massive venture capital funding, companies have spent an enormous amount on marketing & customer discounts. These efforts have resulted in a large no of people buying meal kits online.
