Staple foods in 2024: The big picture
Staple foods in Sweden continued to face maturity at the end of the review period. Therefore, retail volume growth remained difficult to generate, with retail current value growth boosted by inflationary pressure on prices, but also the launch of new products and innovation offering added-value benefits.
Key trends in 2024
Flavour and mouthfeel experiences were among the key trends in 2024. Thus, manufacturers were mindful to deliver products that addressed these sensations to stand out from the crowd in a highly competitive landscape.
Competitive landscape
The competitive landscape of staple foods remained fierce in Sweden at the end of the review period. In order to gain a competitive advantage, local players continued to emphasise the domestic origin of their production and products to win over consumers.
Channel developments
While many consumers in Sweden continued to prefer to eat out, more price-sensitive consumers limited their foodservice visits and cooked at home. Overall, the distribution landscape was relatively stable at the end of the review period, although some retail share movement towards discounters was detected as private label and lower prices attracted consumers.
What next for staple foods?
In order to be able to stimulate retail value growth in mature staple foods categories, players are expected to deliver more added-value and premium-positioned products. The focus is likely to remain on aspects like health and wellness, indulgence (flavour and mouthfeel) and domestic origin.
