Staple foods in 2024: The big picture
The year 2024 marks a promising period for staple foods in Lithuania. In contrast to some neighbouring countries, consumer confidence remains robust, buoying expenditure levels and driving better-than-expected performance across staple foods.
Key trends in 2024
The long-standing decline in bread sales stabilises in 2024. Traditional formats, such as loaves of rye bread, continue to experience a downturn; however, modern variants, including fast food-related burger and hot dog buns, toast bread, ethnic breads, and freshly baked options, maintain overall category sales at consistent levels.
Competitive Landscape
Private label products represent a key growth driver across staple food categories. Lidl continues to dominate private label; however, Maxima’s Well Done line is gaining ground rapidly.
Channel developments
The retail distribution landscape sees little change in 2024. Lidl’s previously rapid expansion slows, while major players like Maxima and Iki maintain their market positions, and Norfa experiences notable growth.
What next for staple foods?
The forecast for staple foods in Lithuania suggests a relatively stable performance, with value growth outpacing volume growth in most categories. Consumer demand is unlikely to expand significantly due to market saturation and limited population growth.
