The meal kit market is a rapidly evolving global industry consisting of businesses providing pre-portioned, packaged ingredients and easy-to-follow recipes, enabling consumers to prepare home-cooked meals without the burden of meal planning and grocery shopping. Customers can choose from a diverse range of dietary preferences, cuisines, and portion sizes according to their tastes and needs.
