By: James Marriot | Posted: 08th November 2006
The food market of Asia-Pacific region seems promising with increasing customer expenditures on food & beverages. The food market of this region is portraying healthy growth trends with increasing number of Asian countries penetrating Pacific region's markets with their food businesses.
Today, the fastest growing & wealthiest people in the Pacific region are the Asian Americans, with 2/3rd clustered chiefly in New York, Texas, California, Illinois and Hawaii. Therefore, the demand for the Asian food is also growing rapidly in these regions. But much has to be seen about the Asia-Pacific food market and its future growth.
Hence, to know the food market, one needs to understand its culture. The Pacific region first tasted the Asian food when immigrant Chinese laborers (who used to mine gold and lay tracks there) brought Chinese delicacies to their shores in mid 1800s.
As time passed, more and more Asian families started to settle down in this region, and thus small motels offering traditional dishes grew, particularly in America. Since Chinese courses have been there in US for so long now, they are no more regarded as exotic dishes. Today, Chinese restaurants exist in almost each and every city of America.
The US$ 400 Million market for refrigerated, shelf-stable & frozen Asian food products includes not just the rising figures of Asian-American customers, but also Americans with different cultural pasts who have come to enjoy these flavorful cuisines. Japanese, Chinese & Thai food products have being widely accepted & same is the case with, Malaysian, Vietnamese & other nations cuisines in America and other prime Pacific countries.
