Inflation leads to higher prices and cautious spending
Value sales of cooking ingredients and meals in Bolivia rose in 2025, driven by significant retail price increases due to inflation. Higher prices forced Bolivians to moderate their purchases, impacting volume sales in the year. During this period of strong inflationary pressure, consumers increasingly prepared homemade meals from scratch in order to reduce spending. With reduced purchasing power, consumers also tended to make smaller purchases and opt for lower-priced brands.
