Cooking ingredients and meals in 2024: The big picture
In 2024, cooking ingredients and meals in Uzbekistan experienced notable shifts, primarily influenced by the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, which disrupted supply chains and caused logistical issues for many companies. This situation led to the removal of several Russian brands from store shelves, paving the way for European and Turkish brands to establish a stronger foothold in the market.
Key trends in 2024
Reflecting the high price sensitivity of consumers in Uzbekistan, 2024 saw increased demand for budget-friendly products. Sunflower oil and mixed oils continue to lead in sales volumes, underscoring their importance as staple ingredients.
Competitive landscape
The cooking ingredients and meals landscape in Uzbekistan is highly competitive, with both foreign and local brands vying for market share. Local companies have achieved notable success in categories like shelf-stable and frozen meals, demonstrating their adaptability and commitment to meeting local consumer needs.
Channel developments
Modern grocery retailing is on the rise in Uzbekistan, with store chains expanding beyond the capital to reach regional markets, making shopping more accessible and convenient for a broader range of consumers. Offering wide assortments, competitive pricing, and engaging marketing campaigns, these channels are experiencing active growth.
What next for cooking ingredients and meals?
Looking ahead, sunflower and mixed oils are expected to continue leading in sales volume, while olive oil will likely remain a niche product for residents in larger urban centres. Despite government support for local production, existing facilities are not yet operating at full capacity, limiting expansion in some categories.
