Soup is a type of liquid food that is prepared using vegetables, meat, fish, water, and other additives. Consumption of soups has a multitude of benefits, as they are a source of nutrients essential for the proper functioning of the body. The American Heart Association recommends that an adult should consume around eight or more servings of vegetable soups every day. The growing demand for convenience foods, increasing health awareness, introduction of new flavors in the market, and attractive advertisements by the soup manufactures are the key drivers for the global soups market growth. Moreover, urbanization, growing disposable incomes, increase in working women population, and hectic lifestyles are further fueling the global market growth. However, rising awareness about the health risks associated with the consumption of preservatives in ready-to-cook soups is a major restraint for the global soups market expansion. In the wake of this, several manufacturers are currently introducing products with low content of preservatives.
