Meal Kit Delivery Services Market Dynamics

Driver: Increasing Fondness For Cooking At Home

Dining in is gaining popularity over dining out, with both boomers and millennials increasingly favoring home-cooked meals or takeout. This shift is largely influenced by the attitudes and behaviors of these two significant generational groups. Despite millennials outnumbering boomers, the latter’s behaviors still significantly impact the home-cooking market. Millennials, having experienced multiple recessions and burdened with debts, are more inclined to save money by cooking at home. This, coupled with a demand for gourmet and luxurious food, has spurred the growth of meal kit delivery services. As restaurant visits decline, these services are flourishing, further fueled by shifting demographics, evolving meal compositions, and a growing preference for fresh foods. This trend indicates a promising future for the meal kit delivery industry.

Driver: Increasing Consumer Awareness Toward Reducing Wastage Of Food

Food wastage is a significant issue, often overlooked by many. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reports that 94% of discarded food ends up in landfills or combustion facilities. In 2017 alone, the U.S. disposed of 38.1 million tons of food waste. According to Foodprint, about 40% of U.S. food, equivalent to 125 to 160 billion pounds, is wasted annually. Much of this wasted food is edible and nutritious. Overproduction, overbuying, poor planning, and confusion over labels and safety contribute to this wastage. The financial cost of food waste is staggering, amounting to approximately USD 218 billion per year. Moreover, uneaten food wastes valuable resources like water and farmland, putting unnecessary strain on the environment. With 12% of U.S. households facing food insecurity, reducing food waste by just 15% could feed over 25 million people annually. This highlights the urgent need for effective strategies to reduce food waste.

Restraint: Unaffordability Of Meal Kit Delivery Services

While meal kit services offer convenience and can be cheaper than dining out, they are often seen as an added expense. The average cost per meal, per person, is around USD 10, which can exceed the cost of self-bought groceries. Despite customization options, there’s a risk of not enjoying a meal, leading to potential waste and dissatisfaction. Subscription services may limit meal choice, posing a challenge for picky eaters and potentially leading to more food waste. Portion sizes may not meet everyone’s needs, with some finding them too small. Additionally, the perishable nature of meal kits necessitates prompt cooking, adding a layer of responsibility for consumers. While meal kit services have their advantages, they also come with drawbacks such as cost, potential for waste, portion size issues, and the need for timely cooking. These factors should be considered when deciding whether such a service is suitable.
