in Tiktok e-commerce, the prefabricated dishes are growing rapidly.
In the past two years, the dividends of the “lazy economy” have driven the rapid growth of convenient ready to eat food categories represented by prefabricated dishes. Data show that in 2021, the scale of China’s Prefabricated vegetable industry increased by 18% synchronously. Similarly, in Tiktok e-commerce, the prefabricated dishes have also experienced rapid growth: the cumulative sales from January to April 2022 have exceeded the total sales of 2021.
