Stable goods shows resilience despite consumer price consciousness
Demand for staple foods in Slovenia remains resilient, despite lingering inflation, supported by premiumisation, and steady demand for everyday essentials. Core categories such as bread, pasta and rice are showing stable performances, while breakfast cereals is recording the fastest value growth thanks to the popularity of muesli, granola, and products offering functional or high-protein benefits. Private label offerings increasingly match the quality of established manufacturers, helping them expand across categories such as pasta, baked goods, and processed meat. Major chains - including Spar, Mercator, Hofer, and Lidl - continue to invest in value, organic, and premium private label lines, further blurring the gap between budget and branded offerings. Alongside value-seeking behaviour, consumers show a growing interest in locally sourced and sustainably produced staples. Distribution continues to evolve, with supermarkets and hypermarkets remaining dominant, with discounters gaining momentum, E-commerce is growing rapidly from a small base, boosted by the relaunch of eHrana and expanding online assortments from major retailers.
