There is a growing popularity of frozen foods in North America as processed food producers are producing high-quality and nutritional value meals, propelling the North America ready meals market growth. These foods efficiently meet the nutritional and lifestyle needs of consumers. Prominent supermarkets, such as Walmart, Inc., Trader Joe's Company, Inc., Costco Wholesale Corporation, and Target Corp are offering a range of products frozen at the peak of freshness, such as fried rice, and chicken vegetable rice as well as pizzas.

According to the North America ready meals market analysis, consumers are demanding low-calorie ready meals produced with clean-label ingredients. By capitalising on these trends, players can further stimulate growth in the market. Players are also providing halal ready meals to meet the growing demand for a halal diet. Additionally, ready-meal providers are expanding their offerings to grab a larger customer base. For instance, in December 2023, Blue Apron, a provider of meal kit services in the United States, announced the expansion of its ready-to-eat category by launching Prepared & Ready meals. Prepared & Ready is made up of chef-crafted meals that are nutritionist-approved, non-frozen, and are delivered fresh and ready to reheat in a microwave.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
