The DTC Food Market is projected to reach $195.39 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 18.7% during the forecast period of 2024 – 2031. The growth of this market is driven by factors such as the rising adoption of convenience foods, growing online purchases of food products, and the increasing number of DTC food brands. However, the lack of brand awareness & limited product offerings of DTC food providers, and product quality concerns & delivery delays are factors restraining the growth of this market to some extent. The growing demand for premium & personalized food products is expected to generate market growth opportunities. However, high competition from other distribution channels is a major challenge impacting market growth. Furthermore, consumers’ increasing focus on health and wellness is a major trend in the global DTC food market.
