Ongoing economic challenges encourage consumers to trade down
Sales of cooking ingredients and meals have seen steady growth in current value terms in 2025, but ongoing economic challenges have continued to place pressure on consumer spending. This has resulted in consumers shifting to more economical or small pack sizes, or cheaper products and brands. Modern, fast-paced urban lifestyles have also placed a greater emphasis on convenience. This has influenced consumer purchasing behaviour both in terms of the products they buy and where they choose to buy them from, while also having a generally positive impact on overall sales of cooking ingredients and meals.
