Consumers Seek Convenience and Satisfying Flavor, Even on the Go
Americans’ Increasingly Hectic Schedules Drive Sales of Convenience Foods
Consumers are turning to foods they can prepare quickly and take along as they replace sit-down meals with more mini-meals and snacks.
Frozen snacks are an ideal solution for time-pressed consumers who appreciate a hot meal that's ready in minutes.
Retail sales of frozen hot snacks increased 24% from 2000 to 2005, going from $1.591.4 million to $1,966.5 million (Mintel U.S. Frozen Snacks).
Driven by Demographics, Hispanic-Inspired Foods Are Increasingly Popular
As of July 1, 2004, the U.S. Hispanic population totaled 41.3 million and accounted for about one-half of the national population growth from July 2003-04 (U.S. Census Bureau).
Non-Hispanic consumers also look increasingly to ethnic flavors for mealtime variety.
Sales of Mexican-style frozen snacks are growing as mainstream brands like Hot Pockets and T.G.I. Friday's launch products in this style.
Mexican-oriented brands like Jose Ole and El Monterey have expanded beyond their frozen burrito and taco offerings to meet market interest.
Sales of Mexican and Hispanic convenience foods grew 103% from 1999-2004 (Packaged Facts).
Hispanic Cheese Is Popular
Cheese is a staple in many Hispanic recipes and is often eaten by Hispanics as a snack or in sandwiches.
Hispanic assimilation into and influence on American popular culture is helping to generate national demand for Hispanic cheeses.
Per capita consumption of Hispanic-style cheese grew about 84% between 1996 and 2003, going from a quarter-pound per person per year to nearly one-half pound per person per year (USDA).
Production of Hispanic-style cheese grew by more than 30.9% between 2001 and 2004 (USDA).
