The Prepared Meals Production industry has faced positive operating conditions over recent years. Revenue has benefited from consumers increasingly signing up to ready meal delivery services like My Muscle Chef and Lite n' Easy. Demand from time-poor consumers has been strong, as many have cut back on meal preparation. Producers that promote health as a core benefit have reported strong revenue growth. However, some companies have struggled to compete against private-label products launched by major supermarkets like Coles and Woolworths, as these products are often priced substantially lower compared to industry goods due to strong economies of scale. This trend has contributed to strong price competition and has constrained industry growth in recent years. Overall, industry revenue is expected to increase at an annualised 1.1% over the five years through 2024-25, to $1.9 billion. This includes an anticipated revenue rise of 1.8% in the current year. Prepared meal producers have shifted towards producing different meal types over recent years. Many smaller players have entered the market targeting healthy or specialty food areas due to rising health consciousness and growing demand for foods suited to vegan and vegetarian diets. Some producers have been able to take advantage of this opportunity, expanding significantly at the expense of firms that offer lower quality and cost foods. These meals typically demand higher prices, helping to push up industry profit margins. Industry revenue is set to continue growing in the coming years. An increasingly diverse range of products, including higher quality and easier to prepare meals, is forecast to boost overall industry demand. Specialty prepared meals are projected to rise in popularity as health consciousness and consumers with dietary preferences continue to shape the Australian food supply chain. Demand from time-poor consumers is also forecast to grow as more consumers enter the workforce. However, competition is set to remain high, limiting price-growth opportunities for producers. Industry revenue is projected to increase at an annualised 1.3% through the end of 2029-30, to $2.0 billion.

The Meal Kit Delivery Services industry has exploded thanks to increased health consciousness among consumers, rising disposable incomes and online shopping uptake. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated growth as consumers turned to meal kits as an alternative to grocery shopping. Meal kits have transitioned from an unexplored niche market to a mainstream affair. However, profitability has been a significant challenge for meal kit providers. Extensive marketing and logistical mandates have been needed to attract new customers and ensure food safety, increasing operating costs. However, revenue is expected to grow at an annualised 17.2% over the five years through 2023-24, to $1.1 billion. Meal kit providers have faced tough competition, especially from big-box retailers and ready-meal delivery services. Supermarkets have been enhancing their online services and introducing meal kits and ready meals. Easing lockdown measures and rising inflation have led consumers back to dining out and in-store shopping instead of using meal kit subscriptions. Revenue is anticipated to grow 4.0% in 2023-24 as momentum slows. Smaller companies have also struggled to compete with established brands’ competitive pricing. The industry is set to continue growing over the coming years, despite shifts in the competitive landscape. Traditional supermarkets and grocery stores will increasingly offer meal kits and ready-made meals and enhance their online shopping experiences. Their emphasis on providing cost-effective, diversified options will intensify competition. Furthermore, as inflation weakens and consumers feel more comfortable dining out again, a potential decline in subscriptions will hinder providers’ expansion and prompt consolidation. However, meal kit providers will look to expand their product offerings and customisability to maintain their appeal. Technological advancements and eco-friendly practices will play significant roles in sustaining demand in the coming years. Revenue is projected to rise at an annualised 5.3% over the five years through 2028-29, to reach $1.4 billion.
