Rising demand for budget options amid high inflation
Value growth of cooking ingredients and meals in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2025 was mostly driven by continued high inflation. Many food item sales stagnated or even fell in volume terms. Higher-quality products sold at a premium price were more significantly affected, while others such as cheaper edible oil alternatives have shown steady growth as consumers sought budget options. Despite a pessimistic outlook in the market, consumers welcome innovation and new flavours, supporting growth of foreign products, including soy sauce, nut and seed based spreads, as well as convenient solutions like prepared salads.
