Ecuador's cooking ingredients market evolves with affordability pressures and changing consumer needs
The market for cooking ingredients and meals in Ecuador is being shaped by affordability pressures and changing household dynamics. Consumers continue to cook at home to manage costs, favouring products that offer convenience and versatility. Private label penetration is rising rapidly, supported largely by the expansion of discounters. Demographic shifts - particularly the rise of smaller households and single professionals - are prompting demand for smaller pack sizes and easy-to-prepare formats. Health considerations are increasingly influencing purchasing behaviour, although taste and practicality remain primary drivers.
