Strong interest in high-protein, gut-friendly and clean-label ingredients
The cooking ingredients and meals market is set to show an overall positive performance in Norway in 2025. The market is evolving amid shifting consumer priorities and regulatory frameworks. Consumers are balancing continued price sensitivity with a growing demand for health-oriented options like high-protein, gut-friendly, and clean-label foods. Plant-based alternatives and sustainability remain key drivers, influenced by national dietary guidelines promoting plant-rich diets and government mandates limiting unhealthy food marketing to children. Categories such as ready meals, sweet spreads, and plant-based proteins showcase innovation that blends convenience, wellness, and ethical considerations. Sustainability efforts extend beyond ingredients to packaging and supply chain practices, with consumers and regulators pushing for lower environmental impact. This dynamic interplay of affordability, wellness, and sustainability creates an intriguing landscape poised for ongoing transformation, inviting closer examination of how these trends shape future food choices in Norway.
