Best10MealDeliveries has identified the key factors and trends that are currently influencing the meal kit delivery service market. These trends have been crucial to identify as it gives an indication of where the market is likely to develop in the future. Additionally, it means that Best10MealDeliveries remains best placed to continue its unbiased and honest reviews of all the meal delivery box companies in the industry.

There have been a couple of huge factors that have allowed meal kit delivery companies a huge remit within which to grow. Firstly, people are increasingly more aware of climate change and how food production is a big part of that. While many meal delivery boxes are not carbon neutral (though a few are), they do reduce the amount of food waste in a household. Thanks to only including how much of one ingredient is required in each dish, only food that is required is delivered and eaten - not wasted.

Additionally, coupled with that is an increased demand by customers for food that supports a healthy way of living. Food and diet have long been identified as a big impact on a person’s overall weight and health. Meal kit delivery services help customers eat better as all meals are designed by chefs and nutritionists alike. Plus, they reduce the need for relying on convenience food. Convenience food is laden in salt and preservatives - to name just two nasties. Making homemade meals with meal delivery boxes is quick and easy - like a ready meal - without the inclusion of those bad for the body ingredients.

One huge factor that cannot be overlooked in terms of its influence on the meal kit delivery market is the pandemic. While restrictions are currently the most relaxed they have been in many different countries, the first lockdowns saw people turn to meal kit delivery companies in their droves. Doing so was a form of entertainment for many as the food was one of the few highlights to otherwise monotonous days.

These factors are starting to turn into long term trends. People want to reduce food waste, eat more healthily, and improve their knowledge of how to do so. As a result, more and more meal delivery companies are founded with an increasing frequency. Best10MealDeliveries will continue to appraise those companies and give presence to smaller businesses with more particular product lines as well as review larger established firms.

‘Best10MealDeliveries has investigated and identified these key trends and factors to see how the market will continue to develop and expand. It is a really exciting time to be in the industry while companies are constantly emerging trying to answer demand or fill a niche in the market. Our reviews will therefore remain exceptionally useful for customers who may get overwhelmed by all the options available to them.’ Tim Taylor, Best10Index CEO
