Earlier Report Observations

In 2018, the frozen potato market in the Americas reached 1 685 thousand tons, supported by high demand from the fast-food sector and the growing presence of major manufacturers. However, the market declined to 1 629 thousand tons in 2019 and further to 1 521 thousand tons in 2020 due to initial supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The market rebounded sharply in 2021, climbing to 1 718 thousand tons as post-pandemic recovery took hold and consumer preference for convenient frozen foods remained strong. After a slight correction to 1 683 thousand tons in 2022, growth resumed in 2023, with the market reaching 1 733 thousand tons, driven by expansion in B2B channels, particularly in fast-food franchises, and processing innovations from leading companies such as McCain and Lamb Weston.
