Staple foods in 2024: The big picture
The stabilisation of the economic situation was slowly reflected in staple foods in the Czech Republic in 2024. However, Czech households remained affected by high inflation and cost-of-living increases in the second half of the review period.
Key trends in 2024
Legislative change helped to grow the demand for staple foods at the end of the review period. Part of the new “Renewal Package” law stipulated an adjustment in VAT (value-added tax) on staple foods.
Competitive landscape
Private label continued to grow retail value share in staple foods in 2024. The increased popularity of private label products in staple foods is attributed to their value proposition.
Channel developments
Foodservice benefited from the improvement in the economic situation in the Czech Republic in 2024, with more footfall in restaurants and stronger volume sales. While food volume sales rose, one threat to foodservice is that the demand for drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic, is proving slower to recover.
