The North America ready-to-eat (RTE) food market, valued at approximately $XX million in 2025, is projected to experience steady growth, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.36% from 2025 to 2033. This expansion is driven by several key factors. The increasing prevalence of busy lifestyles and dual-income households fuels the demand for convenient, time-saving meal options. Furthermore, the rising popularity of health-conscious eating habits is driving innovation within the RTE sector, with manufacturers focusing on healthier ingredients and improved nutritional profiles. The expansion of e-commerce platforms and online grocery delivery services also contributes significantly to market growth, offering consumers greater accessibility to a wider variety of RTE products. Segmentation reveals that instant breakfast cereals and ready meals hold significant market shares, while hypermarkets and supermarkets remain dominant distribution channels. However, the market faces certain restraints, including concerns regarding the nutritional value of some RTE foods and the fluctuating prices of raw materials. This necessitates manufacturers to continuously innovate and adapt to consumer preferences by incorporating healthier ingredients, sustainable sourcing, and eco-friendly packaging. The competitive landscape is characterized by a mix of established multinational corporations and regional players. Major companies like General Mills, Nestle, and Conagra Brands are leveraging their brand recognition and extensive distribution networks to maintain their market positions. Smaller companies, however, are focusing on niche product offerings and innovative marketing strategies to compete effectively. Geographical analysis indicates that the United States represents the largest market within North America, followed by Canada and Mexico. Future growth will likely be influenced by evolving consumer trends such as increased demand for plant-based and organic RTE products, personalized nutrition solutions, and enhanced product convenience. The forecast period (2025-2033) suggests a positive trajectory for the North American RTE food market, with opportunities for players who can adapt to these dynamic trends and meet evolving consumer expectations.

This study aimed to evaluate changes in dietary and lifestyle habits during the period of confinement due to the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ibero-American countries. A cross-sectional investigation was conducted with 6,325 participants of both genders (68% women), over 18 years of age and from five countries: Brazil (N = 2,171), Argentina (N = 1,111), Peru (N = 1,174), Mexico (N = 686), and Spain (N = 1,183). Data were collected during the year 2020, between April 01 and June 30 in Spain and between July 13 and September 26, in the other countries studied using a self-administered online survey designed for the assessment of sociodemographic, employment, physical activity, health status, and dietary habits changes. Most participants (61.6%), mainly those from Spain, remained constant, without improving or worsening their pattern of food consumption. Among those who changed, a pattern of better eating choices prevailed (22.7%) in comparison with those who changed toward less healthy choices (15.7%). Argentina and Brazil showed the highest proportion of changes toward a healthier pattern of food consumption. Peruvians and Mexicans were less likely to make healthy changes in food consumption (OR: 0.51; 95% CI: 0.4–0.6 and OR: 0.69; 95% CI: 0.4–0.8, respectively), when compared to Argentinians. Most respondents did not change their pattern of meal consumption, but those who did reduced their consumption of main meals and increased intake of small meals and snacks. Although most participants affirmed to be doing physical activity at home, about one-half reported perception of weight gain. Individuals with alterations in sleep pattern (either by increasing or decreasing sleep time) were more likely to change their diets to a healthier pattern. In contrast, individuals with confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 and those who reported feeling anxious were more likely to perform changes to a less healthy eating pattern (OR: 1.72; 95% CI: 1.2–2.3 and OR: 1.21; 95% CI: 1.1–1.4, respectively). In conclusion, although most participants remained constant in their eating habits, lifestyle changes and anxiety feelings were reported. Among those who changed patterns of food consumption, healthier choices prevailed, with differences between countries. However, there were alterations in the distribution of meals, with higher consumption of snacks and small meals. These results can be used to guide policies to prevent deleterious consequences that may affect the incidence of chronic diseases.

The global walnut-based spreads market, valued at approximately $XX million in 2025, is projected to experience robust growth, driven by a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5.60% from 2025 to 2033. This expansion is fueled by several key factors. The rising consumer preference for healthy and nutritious food options contributes significantly to market growth.

The Food and You Surveys (2010-2018), and Food and You 2 (2020- ) are bi-annual, cross-sectional surveys of adults aged 16 years and over living in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, commissioned by the Food Standards Agency. Food and You provides data about the prevalence of different attitudes, reported behaviour and knowledge about ways in which food is purchased, stored, prepared and eaten.

Food and You, 2010-2018
From 2010, Food and You became the FSA’s flagship social survey. In addition, the FSA conducted regular tracking surveys including the bi-annual Public Attitudes Tracker and annual Food Hygiene Rating Scheme (FHRS) Consumer Attitudes Tracker (these studies are not held at UKDS. From Wave 4, Food and You included new questions to cover affordability of food, choice, security and sustainability.

Food and You 2, 2020-
In 2018, the FSA’s Advisory Committee for Social Science (ACSS) recommended that Food and You and the Public Attitudes Tracker were replaced with a new ‘push-to-web’ survey, Food and You 2, which was commissioned in 2019 with data collection commencing in July 2020. Due to differences in the survey methodologies, comparisons cannot be made between the earlier Food and You surveys, or the Public Attitudes Tracker, and Food and You 2. Therefore Food and You 2, 2020 is the start of a new data time series. Data will be collected through Food and You 2 on a bi-annual basis. Unlike the previous surveys, as well as the standard End User Licence (EUL) study for Food and You 2 the UKDS also holds additional variables under Special Licence (see SN 8815).

Further information may be found on the FSA's Food and You Survey webpage.

The objectives of the Food and You Survey, 2014 were to collect quantitative information to enable the FSA to: explore public understanding of, and engagement with, the Agency's aim of improving food safety; identify specific target groups for future interventions (e.g. those most at risk or those among whom FSA policies and initiatives are likely to have the greatest impact); monitor changes over time (compared with data from Waves 1 and 2 or from other sources) in reported attitudes and behaviour; broaden the evidence base and develop indicators to assess progress in fulfilling the Agency’s strategic plans, aims and targets.
Main Topics:

The 2014 questionnaire covered the following topics:

• information about household members
• eating habits (including eating out)
• shopping habits
• food safety attitudes and behaviour

CDPS and CalCHEEPS were administered biennially in odd years up through 2013 and CalTEENS was administered biennially in even years through 2014. The surveys were designed to monitor dietary trends, especially fruit and vegetable consumption, among Californias for evaluating their progress toward meeting the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the Healthy People 2020 Objectives. All three surveys were conducted via telephone. Adult and adolescent data were collected using a list of participating CalFresh households and random digit dial, and child data were collected using only the list of CalFresh households. Older children (9-11) were the primary respondents with some parental assistance. For younger children (6-8), the primary respondent was parents. Data were oversampled for low-income and African American to provide greater sensitivity for analyzing trends among the target population. Wording of the question used for these analyses varied by survey (age group). The questions were worded are as follows: Adult:1) How tall are you without shoes?2) How much do you weigh?Adolescent:1) About how much do you weigh without shoes?2) About how tall are you without shoes? Child:1) How tall is [child's name] now without shoes on?2) How much does [child's name] weigh now without shoes on?
