/PRZOOM - Newswire/ - Currently, the market for processed food in China constitutes nearly 5.7% of the global market and it generated an output of US$166.27 billion in 2005..

Delhi, New Delhi, India, 09/05/2006 – There’s been a remarkable growth in the market for processed food in China. This spurt has, particularly, been driven by higher concentration of wealth and busy lifestyle of people living in urban China. Processed food is perhaps the most convenient option for them.

With nearly 88% of urban households having refrigerators, compared to only 16% in rural households, the urban market is ready for foods that need refrigeration. In many urban areas, 30% of total food consumed is processed. On the other hand, there’s very little data for the consumption of processed food in rural areas. It will take several years for rural markets to match the level of urban market in China.

In its recently published industry report “Food Processing Market in China (2005)” on packaged food in China RNCOS has addressed the following issues about the industry:

- Relative study of Asian food processing market vis-à-vis China
