Frozen pizza is now outgrowing fresh, responsible for £23.1m of the overall sector’s £41m growth. This is down to own label range extensions﷯ and NPD from brands.


Contrary to chilled pizza’s performance (up 3.5% on volumes down 1.1%), frozen is in volume growth. The sector is up 5.5% on volumes up 3.3%.

 
Brands have spearheaded frozen growth. They are, however, losing share to own label overall. Brands are up 0.5% on volumes down combined, while own label is up by 6.2% in value and 3.6% in volumes.


Premium lines have been a key driver of own label. Own label still dominates chilled pizza, accounting for 77.7% of sector value, versus 47.9% of frozen.
