Price rises boost private label and encourage price promotions
In 2025, value growth in cooking ingredients and meals in Slovakia rose, driven mainly by higher unit prices. Rising consumer price sensitivity led to increased promotional activity and strong private label performance, as households sought better value during periods of inflation and economic uncertainty. Health awareness continued to shape purchasing behaviour, boosting demand for lower-sugar, low-fat, high-protein, and plant-based options, which in turn influenced both product development and marketing.
