About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Ready Meals Market Size To Reach USD 110.47 Billion by 2030, Driven by Technological Innovations and Shifting Consumer Preferences

By: Press Release Distribution Service

Mordor Intelligence released its latest ready meals market report, highlighting how busy lifestyles, shifting consumer preferences, and technological innovations are driving global growth, with Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific emerging as the leading regions.

Hyderabad, Telangana, India, September 4, 2025 -- Mordor Intelligence reports that the ready meals market size is projected to reach USD 95.05 billion in 2025 and grow to USD 110.47 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 3.05% over the forecast period (2025-2030). The global ready meals market growth is set for sustained growth as consumers increasingly adopt convenient meal solutions that balance taste, nutrition, and accessibility. The market’s stability is supported by advances in food preservation technologies, eco-friendly packaging, and the rising popularity of plant-based alternatives. 

The industry continues to benefit from changing lifestyles, busy work schedules, and the demand for convenient food formats. Innovations such as high-pressure processing, intelligent packaging, and nanotechnology are extending shelf life while ensuring food safety and nutritional value. These advancements are enabling manufacturers to compete in premium segments where freshness and quality are critical.

Key Ready Meals Market Trends 

Technological Advancements in Preservation 

Cutting-edge preservation methods such as high-pressure processing, modified atmosphere packaging, and freeze-drying are transforming ready meals. Intelligent packaging systems now monitor freshness, helping reduce food waste and boosting consumer trust. 

Sustainability in Packaging 

The market is shifting toward biodegradable, recyclable, and compostable packaging solutions, influenced by consumer demand and stricter regulations. Brands are adopting paper-fiber trays and lightweight packaging formats to reduce environmental impact without compromising convenience. 

Rise of Plant-Based and Alternative Proteins 

Growing demand for healthier and sustainable diets is fueling plant-based ready meals. Manufacturers are innovating with pea, chickpea, and rice proteins, while global players are expanding into plant-based frozen bowls and international dishes to meet vegan and flexitarian preferences. 

Challenges in Premium Products 

Premium ready meals face hurdles due to shorter shelf lives and higher preservation costs. Natural, minimally processed products are popular but often restricted in distribution due to spoilage risks, creating challenges for smaller producers. 

Competition from Fresh and Home-Cooked Meals 

Meal-prep services, culinary platforms, and rising health consciousness are pushing consumers toward fresh home-cooked alternatives. While ready meals offer unmatched convenience, fresh cooking remains a strong competitor in terms of nutrition and customization. 

Ready Meals Market Segment Insights 

  • By Product Type – Frozen meals lead due to extended shelf life and improved freezing technology. Chilled meals appeal with freshness, while shelf-stable and freeze-dried products serve niche markets. 
  • By Ingredient – Conventional products dominate, but “free-from” meals (gluten-free, dairy-free, preservative-free) are gaining traction among health-conscious consumers. 
  • By Distribution Channel – Supermarkets remain key, but online retail is rapidly disrupting traditional sales through quick commerce and improved cold chain logistics. 
  • By Category – Non-vegetarian products lead the market, yet vegetarian and plant-based meals are expanding quickly, driven by environmental and health considerations. 

Ready Meals Market Regional Highlights 

  • North America – Leads the market due to mature cold chain infrastructure and high consumer acceptance of convenience foods. 
  • Asia-Pacific – Fastest-growing region, fueled by urbanization, rising incomes, and evolving dietary habits. 
  • Europe – Strong focus on sustainability, clean-label products, and strict food safety standards. 
  • Other Regions – Emerging opportunities in South America, the Middle East, and Africa, though logistics challenges persist. 

Ready Meals Industry Competitive Landscape 

The market is moderately fragmented, with global players like 

  • Nestlé S.A.,  
  • Conagra Brands Inc,  
  • The Kraft Heinz Company,  
  • Nomad Foods Limited, and  
  • Tyson Foods Inc. 

competing alongside regional specialists. Innovation in preservation methods, packaging, and clean-label offerings is central to market differentiation. Companies are also prioritizing sustainability, ranging from carbon-neutral frozen meals to recyclable packaging, while expanding plant-based portfolios to address growing consumer demand for healthier, environmentally responsible convenience foods.
