While consumers continue to be at home for extended periods in 2021, they look at ways to lessen the number of meals they have to prepare as well as convenient ways of preparing home-made soup. Thus, soup continues seeing retail value sales growth in 2021 thanks to the long tradition of soup making in Poland, its affordability and availability as well as the wide range of flavours and packaging.
Poles traditionally consume a substantial amount of soup and although lockdowns had limited impact on soup, many consumers used packaged soup due to its convenience and the high quality of products on offer. Furthermore, soup is characterised by seasonality with sales peaking around Easter and Christmas as well as during the cold winter months when Poles look for a warm satisfying meal.
There are two leading multinationals manufacturing soup in Poland, Unilever Polska SA and Nestlé Polska SA. These companies have a strong position in dehydrated and instant soup which are widely available and affordable.
Constant retail value sales growth of soup is expected to decline in 2022 and 2023 before returning to pre-COVID-19 levels thereafter. Shelf stable soup is likely to be the most dynamic and lead sales, albeit at a slower constant CAGR than that of the review period.
Smaller soup brands are anticipated to increase their value share gradually during the forecast period as many will extend their soup portfolios. Furthermore, these brands are likely to offer unique solutions and flavour and packaging innovation at a faster pace than the traditional soup brands.
Discounters and supermarkets are the leading distribution channels for soup in Poland in 2021. However, convenience stores are becoming increasingly popular thanks to a growing convenience trend, the volume and scope of these outlets and changes in consumer preferences for specific products.
