New York, United States, March 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Food is processed and then sealed in an airtight container (jars like Mason jars and steel and tin cans) as part of the canning process, a food preservation technique. Food preservation done in this manner is also referred to as "putting food by." Those who are interested have the option of home canning. The canning process increases food's shelf life by one to five years, although under some circumstances, this can be greatly extended for a longer duration. A product that has been freeze-dried and then canned, like dry and canned lentils, has a shelf life of up to thirty years before it loses its capacity to be consumed.

The National Food Processors Association tested food cans found in the Bertrand wreckage in 1974. A riverboat by the name of Bertrand went along the Missouri River in the year 1865. Researchers concluded that despite the food's look, smell, and vitamin content degrading over 109 years, consumption was still safe. There was no sign of microbial multiplication, which led them to this conclusion.

Surge in Organized Retailing Drives the Global Market

The term "organized retail" corresponds to the more modern concept of "modern retail," which refers to store complexes that sell various products under one roof. "Organized retail" is synonymous with "modern retail." These retail establishments' presence is crucial to expanding the packaged food items industry. These retail stores offer a vast selection of canned food items under one roof, allowing customers to complete all their grocery purchases in one location.

According to Straits Research, “The global canned food market was valued at USD 96.5 billion in 2022. It is estimated to reach USD 124.49 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 2.87% during the forecast period (2023–2031).” This increase is due to a combination of factors, including rising consumption rates, an urbanizing population, and a growing middle-class population. The retail boom is supported by swiftly expanding economies, which also contribute to this expansion. A rise in foreign direct investment (FDI) has led to a rise in private and public participation in other nations, contributing to retail infrastructure improvements.

Research and Development and Innovation Creates Tremendous Opportunities

The sector will benefit from implementing cutting-edge production and packaging technology and innovative business practices. In the not-too-distant future, the market is anticipated to have a greater demand due to the global population increase. Market participants must introduce innovative new products to maintain their industry position and retain their existing customers. As customers' interests constantly change, the most successful organizations' research and development departments must create innovative packaging solutions to attract customers.

In addition, because customers are becoming increasingly concerned about their health, research and development departments are now responsible for ensuring that food does not react negatively with the packaging materials and is safe for human ingestion. Therefore, you should provide them with avenues for market advancement.
