Inflation and home cooking drive growth in cooking ingredients and meals in Turkey
In 2025, cooking ingredients and meals in Turkey recorded double-digit value growth, driven by persistent inflation, price sensitivity, and evolving consumer habits. Elevated prices reinforced demand for private label and discount brands, while value-added products such as sauces and meal-enhancing ingredients outperformed traditional staples. Consumers increasingly sought affordable, convenient, and easy-to-use solutions that enable quick meal preparation, reduce food waste, and allow experimentation with traditional Turkish flavours, reflecting a strong trend toward home cooking. Promotional campaigns, smaller pack sizes, and unbranded goods became central to meeting consumer demand for value, without compromising on quality.
