Sustained demand for cooking ingredients is increasingly characterised by healthier and more natural options
In 2025, the value sales of cooking ingredients and meals in Cambodia are set to rise, driven by a confluence of factors including sustained consumer demand for home cooking, adaptation to persistent food inflation, and a growing emphasis on healthier and more natural options. While consumers actively sought affordable choices and private label products gained traction, there has also been a notable shift towards healthier eating, with increasing suspicion of processed foods. Sustainability concerns, though secondary to immediate budget worries, influenced product development and consumer preferences for locally sourced ingredients. In terms of the competitive landscape, cooking ingredients and meals sees dynamic activity from both international and local players, with modern retail formats and retail e-commerce playing increasingly vital roles in distribution.
