The rise of frozen food sales looks like it’s going to stay consistently on the upturn. With significant economic growth in the last couple of years, this means great things for companies in the food manufacturing industry. But, what are the implications of increased sales for production?
In this article, we’ll detail the implications of a growing frozen food market, including the challenges that come with increased demand. We’ll also explore frozen food products and possibilities, and the automated equipment solutions we offer at Quantum Technical Services. The rise in sales can be materialized into increased profits for frozen food companies, but only if they have the right equipment to meet this demand and challenge.
Implications of a Growing Frozen Food Market
The frozen food market is projected to be valued at more than $412 billion dollars by 2030. However, increased demand for frozen food has implications for frozen food manufacturers, namely the need for higher production, increased competition, and a fight for resources and ingredients. Nevertheless, our food manufacturing experts at Quantum can offer solutions to address these challenges.
Higher Production
Increased sales immediately mean that companies should increase production. This allows companies to meet the increased demand for their products. While this may be obvious, it’s important to mention because brands may need to restrategize their production operations. Quantum can provide food manufacturers with equipment that can help brands seamlessly scale up and increase production.
Increased Competition
There may be an increase in competition with higher sales as more and more companies try to capitalize on this higher demand. More competition makes unique production ever so critical in order to stand out in the frozen food market, especially since competing products are so similar. Food manufacturers can create a diverse product line with low-risk by using versatile Quantum equipment. Brands also don’t have to sacrifice quality for quantity with Quantum equipment. Competition can also cause staffing shortages, but with automated equipment, your brand can successfully run with smaller teams.
Fight for Ingredients
An increase in sales can also potentially cause a burden on the supply chain for ingredients. As more competition appears and the demand for ingredients increases, companies need to be smart and conserve resources and materials where possible. Waterfall ingredient applicators from Quantum have reclaim possibilities so brands can conserve ingredients. Targeted applicators also limit ingredient waste, saving your brand money.
Higher production, increased competition, and fewer resources and ingredients are real challenges that can face the frozen food market. However, Quantum automated food equipment can solve these challenges. But, how can your label apply these equipment solutions to its product line?

By using versatile equipment, your frozen food company can make a variety of frozen food products, from frozen pizza to bakery items, and to prepared meals, without needing to invest in different equipment. At Quantum, our equipment is multi-functional, allowing brands to apply different ingredients and make different frozen food products.

Frozen Pizza
Frozen pizza can significantly diversify your product line. With many possibilities, your frozen food label can develop unique recipes to meet this increased demand. High frozen food sales are possible thanks to pizza, given that it’s a highly favored meal choice in the United States. Our Quantum equipment is exceedingly versatile, allowing brands to apply a wide range of toppings. Our sauce applicators, cheese/topping applicators, meat slicers, and dry/granular ingredient applicators can apply your pizza toppings while ensuring quality and consistency.
Bakery Items
Frozen bakery items can be great breakfast delicacies or after-meal treats to offer your customers. Our automated equipment can apply icings, nuts, spices, and more, depending on the equipment type.
