Street food trends boost sauces and condiments
Retail value sales of cooking ingredients and meals are set to rise in 2025. However, high prices are having a dampening effect on demand. Nonetheless, the availability of more local products is spurring interest. More consumers bought edible oils in bulk and split purchases to offset higher prices. Meals and soups remained underdeveloped, with low interest in packaged options. Meanwhile, street food and Western trends boosted sauces and condiments. Sweet spreads suffered from high prices, and substitutes, although wider availability and cheaper local brands supported sales.
