The soup market in Asia Pacific has been advancing at a strong CAGR of 5.3% and is estimated to reach a market value of US$2,766.6 million by 2020. Up from US$2,025.5 million in 2014, the Asia Pacific soups Market will grow due to several cultural as well as dietary reasons.
Over centuries, soup has been an integral part of Asian diet. Traditionally, they are made out of broths of vegetables and meat, devoid of dairy products. The elaborate process of making soups uses the boiling technique and simmering the broth over long exposure to heat. However, with busy lifestyles and hectic schedules, packaged soups or ready-to-eat soup mixtures have replaced the conventional ways of soup making. The radical change in eating patterns and the convenience of packaged food are two important reasons for the growth of the Asia Pacific soups market in the next few years.
