LONDON--()--Technavio has announced the top five leading vendors in their recent global packaged soups market report. This research report also lists six other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.

The global soup market is experiencing a steady year-over-year growth. One of the factors driving the growth of the market is the increase in demand for convenient as well as healthy food products; they are highly preferred over other unhealthy food products by families. Due to busy lifestyles of consumers and the shortage of time to prepare food, packaged soups, especially instant soups, offer convenience to consumers. Also, factors such as an increase in working women population and increase in demand among kids have resulted in the increased demand for soups. Overall, the global soup market is expected to experience steady growth during the forecast period driven by the increase in the demand for natural and organic soups.

Competitive vendor landscape

The global packaged soups market is dynamic with the presence of many regional and international players. The market is competitive and the vendors are competing based on new product launches, innovative packaging, and increased marketing activities to maintain their market share. The market is expected to remain competitive during the forecast period also due to the growing prominence of private label brands. Private label brands are gaining prominence in most of the major markets and are expected to become a threat to the leading major vendors during the forecast period.

Vendors in the market are spending on research and development to create new products and innovative packaging and are also investing in increasing their production capabilities to meet the consumer demand. In 2015, Campbell Soup Company invested about USD 20 million in Garden Fresh Gourmet to increase the production capacity and invested about USD 18 million to expand the warehouse facilities at its plant,” says Manjunath Reddy, a lead non-alcoholic beverages analyst from Technavio.
