Navigating economic headwinds: Key trends in Indonesian staple foods
Staple foods in Indonesia demonstrated resilience amidst economic turbulence, with consumers prioritising affordability and convenience. Baked goods grew, processed meat and seafood saw robust double-digit value growth driven by convenience, and rice, pasta and noodles maintained stable growth, though instant noodles faced competition. Social media and innovation were pivotal, with brands leveraging digital platforms and new formats/flavours to engage consumers. Health consciousness also shaped demand, leading to product reformulations and functional benefits. Indofood Sukses Makmur Tbk PT retained its lead through strong brands and dynamic marketing, while Lotte Indonesia PT was the strongest performer, driven by Lotte Choco Pie's success. Small local grocers remained dominant, but convenience stores and e-commerce, the fastest-growing channel, significantly expanded their reach, offering variety and rapid delivery.
