HelloFresh achieved global success during the pandemic and beyond, with the Berlin-based company's revenues reaching nearly eight billion euros by 2023. The meal kit industry is forecast to witness continuous growth globally, with estimated revenues of nearly twenty billion U.S. dollars by 2028. In the United States alone, this figure could exceed seven billion U.S. dollars by 2028.
