Meals and soups is expected to experience growth in both volume and value terms over the forecast period, driven by the rising number of Spaniards spending less time cooking at home and an expanding variety of meals available from different culinary traditions, in different formats (individual and family-sized) and price ranges. Italian and Spanish ready meals currently dominate the chilled ready meal offerings, but Japanese and Mexican cuisines are gaining in popularity, reflecting trends observed in the foodservice industry.
The health and wellness trend, the growing demand for convenience and increasing awareness of sustainability are set to influence developments in chilled soups, which is being driven by gazpacho and salmorejo. Spanish consumers are increasingly seeking a home-made taste, products utilising natural and local ingredients, and convenient packaging.
The health and wellness trend is contributing to the global trend towards more plant-based diets, which is also being supported by rising awareness of the impact of livestock farming on the environment and concerns about animal welfare. As well as there being a growing number of people committing to veganism, many consumers are looking to reduce their consumption of meat and adopting a flexitarian approach to their diets.

Meals and Soups
This is the aggregation of ready meals, pizza, food kits, prepared salads, and soup. Includes: These are products that have had recipe 'skills' added to them by the manufacturer, resulting in a high degree of readiness, completion and convenience. Food kits is an exception where typically the extent of preparation is much shorter than other meal products; includes meal kits where consumers are to put together pre-portioned ingredients and cook with the guidance of recipe cards. Ready meals are generally accepted to be complete meals that require few or no extra ingredients. However, in the case of shelf stable ready meals, the term also encompasses meal 'centres’; for food kits, they do require a degree of cooking and preparation. As such, some meals may require cooking (ready-to-cook); others may simply need reheating, prior to serving (ready-to-eat). Excludes: Any products sold unpackaged and/or by weight, including food sold from a retail deli counter.
