PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Consumption of dry soup set to continue declining
In keeping with its performance since 2021, dry soup is expected to see retail volume sales contract throughout the forecast period. The declining trend is partly the result of rising health-consciousness, in that awareness these products are often high in calories and artificial additives and preservatives is increasingly leading Bolivians to favour freshly-made soup prepared at home or sold by street vendors.
Flavour diversification should help to strengthen interest in shelf stable ready meals
Shelf stable ready meals looks set to be one of the strongest performers within meals and soups in retail volume growth terms over the forecast period. Comparatively low unit prices will help to ensure the category is better insulated than most from ongoing inflationary pressures and economic uncertainty arising from the balance of payments crisis.
Healthier options likely to be a focal point for innovation
The growing adoption of healthier eating habits among Bolivians will continue to shape new product development activity in meals and soups over the forecast period. Players in all categories are expected to introduce varieties that are made with more wholesome natural ingredients and lower in or free from salt, sugar, fat, artificial flavours and preservatives etc.

Meals and Soups
This is the aggregation of ready meals, pizza, food kits, prepared salads, and soup. Includes: These are products that have had recipe 'skills' added to them by the manufacturer, resulting in a high degree of readiness, completion and convenience. Food kits is an exception where typically the extent of preparation is much shorter than other meal products; includes meal kits where consumers are to put together pre-portioned ingredients and cook with the guidance of recipe cards. Ready meals are generally accepted to be complete meals that require few or no extra ingredients. However, in the case of shelf stable ready meals, the term also encompasses meal 'centres’; for food kits, they do require a degree of cooking and preparation. As such, some meals may require cooking (ready-to-cook); others may simply need reheating, prior to serving (ready-to-eat). Excludes: Any products sold unpackaged and/or by weight, including food sold from a retail deli counter.
