Frozen potato processing estimated to be the largest segment in 2017
The frozen segment is estimated to account for the largest market share in the potato processing market in 2017.

The increasing demand for french fries in regions such as Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and South America due to the expansion of quick service restaurants (QSRs) and retail channels is the major factor attributing in its growth. McDonalds, Burger King, Dunkin Donuts, and Subway are some of the major QSRs contributing to the growth of the frozen potato market.
Foodservice: The most widely preferred distribution channel for potato processing
The foodservice segment accounted for a larger share of the potato processing market, in terms of value and volume, in 2016. Factors such as an increase in demand for fast food, the rise in the population of working women, and growth of food delivery channels are some of the major factors driving the growth of the foodservice segment. The growing number of national and international brands in the hotel industry along with high contribution of quick service restaurants is expected to drive the demand for potato processing in the foodservice sector during the forecast period.
