The Soups Market within the Convenience Food Market in Southeast Asia is currently experiencing minimal growth, due to various factors such as low consumer awareness and limited access to online services. Despite this, the market is expected to grow steadily in the coming years, driven by increasing demand for convenient and healthy food options.

Customer preferences:
As the demand for healthier and more convenient food options continues to rise in Southeast Asia, there has been a noticeable shift towards plant-based soups. This trend is driven by the growing interest in sustainable and ethical food choices, as well as the rise of vegetarian and vegan diets. Additionally, consumers are increasingly looking for soups that cater to specific dietary needs, such as gluten-free or low-sodium options. This shift towards plant-based and specialized soups reflects the changing attitudes and preferences of consumers in the region.
