Modern Lifestyles and the Rise of To-Go Options
More people are opting for convenient To-Go meals instead of cooking at home. This shift is driven by factors like time constraints and the desire for convenience.
Introduction to the Trend of Cooking Less
In recent years, a significant trend has emerged: people are spending less time in the kitchen. Instead, they are turning to ready-made meals or To-Go options. The Forsa study offers comprehensive insights into this behavior. Cooking used to be a daily ritual, but now, with changing lifestyles and increasing urbanization, people often lack the time and crave quick, convenient meals.
Statistics from the Forsa Study on Cooking Frequency
According to the Forsa study in 2023, only 42% of respondents cook daily, down from 51% in 2015. This decline highlights how home cooking is losing its prominence. Further statistics reveal that 27% cook just once or twice a week, while 15% hardly ever cook. Younger people, particularly those under 35, cook even less frequently, with only 35% cooking daily compared to 58% of those over 60. This shows that younger generations prioritize convenience more.
Reasons for the Decline in Cooking
Lack of time is an important factor. A hectic lifestyle and work commitments leave little room for elaborate cooking. After a long day, many people lack the energy to cook and opt for quicker solutions.
The availability of to-go options also plays an important role. Restaurants, cafés, supermarkets and smart kiosks offer a wide range of ready meals. These are not only convenient, but often cheaper when you consider the time and cost of preparation.
Urbanization is another factor. In cities, kitchens are often smaller and less well equipped. People are on the move more often and therefore eat out more often.
The Forsa study also shows an increased desire for healthy and low-calorie meals. Nevertheless, many still prefer convenient meals that meet these needs rather than cooking themselves.
