The pizza market is currently in the middle of a steady growth period and is forecasted to grow steadily between 2021-2025.

Frozen pizza is also one of the main segments contributing to the growth of the global frozen food market which will grow by over $64.69 billion between 2020-2024.
The demand from millennials is leading to an increased need for innovative and exotic flavored pizza with new ingredients and bold flavors. This demand is also positively impacting the market and is encouraging market players to offer more customizable options to acquire a larger market share.
Additionally, organizations like PETA have been working with pizza chains globally, to expand their meat-free and dairy-free alternatives in their menu. These partnerships are leading to rising demand for vegan pizza. The frozen pizza segment is one of the largest within the global pizza market and is expected to witness strong growth over the next few years owing to the growing need for convenient food preparation and a rise in disposable income.

For example, Chipotle Mexican Grill partnered with restaurateurs Bobby Stuckey and Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson to launch Pizzeria Locale, a fast-casual pizza concept which cooks pizzas to perfection in around 2 minutes.
