Meals and soups is expected to maintain robust growth throughout the forecast period, with demand concentrated mainly within the capital city, Tashkent, where an expanding number of residents are embracing quick and convenient meal solutions. This growth is anticipated to be somewhat tempered in regional areas, where traditional home-cooking practices remain strong and a more discerning approach to food preparation is prevalent.
Frozen ready meals is projected to remain highly fragmented in the coming years, with a rising number of small, local enterprises expected to enter the market. These companies focus on traditional Uzbek dishes in frozen form, such as dumplings (like “manti” and “khinkali”) and pancakes, appealing to consumers who seek to replicate the quality of home-cooked meals with added convenience.
Dry soup is forecast to experience solid volume growth in the forecast period, driven by its appeal among budget-conscious consumers and strong penetration within the low- to middle-income brackets. While high-income consumers in urban centres may gravitate towards shelf stable meals and other more premium options, the affordability and convenience of dry soups continue to make them a viable choice for many.

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.
