Staple foods shows a broadly resilient performance in 2025
Current value growth for staple foods in Israel in 2025 is expected to be moderately slower than in 2024, mainly due to the gradual easing of inflationary pressures. With prices still increasing and the rising cost of living continuing to erode purchasing power, retail volume growth also looks set to fall below that recorded the previous year, albeit only slightly. Demand has remained resilient on the whole, as multiple product types are widely considered basic essentials and consumed on a regular basis in most households, while others are gaining popularity thanks to the convenience they provide as busy lifestyles leave less time for meal preparation. Favourable demographic trends, new launches and marketing activities have also helped to maintain reasonably steady sales in the majority of categories.
