Price increases boost value sales but so does premiumisation
Value sales of cooking ingredients and meals are set to rise in current terms in the Netherlands in 2025. This increase in overall value is mainly being driven by further price increases, although there is also a trend towards high quality niche and premium brands in most categories. The edible oils category is a good example of this combined effect of further price increases due to the scarcity of some major categories such as olive oil and the shift towards more premium brands. Dutch consumers are becoming more sophisticated when choosing cooking ingredients and meals and are also very curious and interested in new tastes and new food experiences. This means that they are willing to pay a premium for products and brands that offer them something special or what they see as an authentic food experience.
