COVID-19 impact on packaged food
At the start of 2020 the Hungarian economy was experiencing strong growth with above average growth in packaged food sales in retail volume and retail value compared to other EU countries. Thanks to low unemployment and household’s strengthening purchasing power, many Hungarian households entered the pandemic period in good financial standing.
COVID-19 country impact
The Hungarian government launched its official COVID-19 webpage and Facebook page on 4 March, the same day as the first cases were announced in the country. The government declared an indefinite state of emergency on 11 March, which saw public gatherings in an enclosed space with more than 100 people prohibited, sporting events that could attract more than 500 spectators held behind closed doors and foreign exchange programmes suspended.
Company response
Packaged food manufacturers operating in Hungary generally reacted swiftly to the stockpiling rush and increased production as well as ensuring speedy distribution to grocery retailers. Most companies managed to ensure a continuous supply to grocery retailers.
Retailing shift
Modern grocery retailers such as hypermarkets and discounters will continue to lead retail volume sales of packaged food in Hungary in 2020. However, the value share of hypermarkets are expected to decline somewhat as consumers eschew crowds as a result of the pandemic.
Foodservice vs retail split
During both the lockdowns, foodservice outlets were ordered to temporarily close their dine-in options, with only takeaway and home delivery allowed. As such, this caused a huge drop in volume sales via foodservice outlets.
What next for packaged food?
In 2021, growth in constant retail value sales of packaged food is likely to slow and return to pre-pandemic growth rates for the rest of forecast period. As a result, packaged food’s historic CAGR is likely to be only marginally higher than that of the forecast CAGR at constant 2020 prices.
