Staple foods remains resilient amid inflationary pressures
Staple foods in Azerbaijan remains resilient, with all five categories achieving positive volume growth in 2025, despite inflationary pressures and declining consumer purchasing power. This trend is being driven by ongoing urbanisation, faster-paced lifestyles, and the rapid expansion of e-commerce across the country. Consumers are increasingly seeking a balance between affordability and an expanding interest in higher-quality, healthier products. Local production remains a key strength in processed fruit and vegetables and baked goods, while imported brands retain a strong presence in breakfast cereals. Small local grocers dominates distribution, while supermarkets and hypermarkets are gaining share by offering consumers a broader range of brands and formats. Promotional campaigns and marketing initiatives have further supported demand.
