According to data from IIAS (Italian Frozen Food Institute), Italian frozen food products achieved very positive results last year. Consumption grew by +5.5% compared to 2019, for a total volume of more than 896 thousand tons of finished products in the freezers of Italians and a turnover ranging between 4.4 and 4.7 billion euros. This success has earned a record per capita consumption of frozen foods for Italy, with an annual average of 15.1 kg.

In 2020, exports soared with a growing success for Italian frozen products. Especially ready meals and pasta (both filled and non-filled), which are increasingly meeting the attention of foreign consumers.
