Quarantine and the closure of foodservice establishments in the Czech Republic during the first year of the pandemic had a positive impact on soup consumption, with retail volume and current value sales increasing in 2020. Soup is relatively healthy, cheap and quick to prepare, and it therefore has broad appeal with consumers in economically straitened times.
Chilled soup is expected to record the strongest growth in soup in 2021, thanks to its healthy image, fresh taste, and convenience as an inexpensive meal option. Manufacturers have been quick to respond to this rising demand by expanding their ranges and introducing novel recipes, such as Tesco’s own pumpkin with cream flavour.
E-commerce saw strong, fast development in 2020 as fears of catching the virus by shopping in-person and the need for an alternative shopping method during quarantines saw retailers moving onto the online platform. The channel will continue to grow in 2021, albeit at a significantly weaker growth.
Over the forecast period, soup is projected to see slower development than in 2020 and 2021. Nevertheless, it will remain a stable category with a loyal consumer base.
Despite shelf stable soup being far from maturity in the Czech Republic, growth will remain limited due to consumers not finding this type of soup to be healthy. Health-consciousness is set to be a strong driver within packaged food in the coming years and will thus affect categories like shelf stable soup that are perceived as less healthy (or even detrimental) to one’s diet and wellbeing.
Demand for free-from meat soup, vegan soup, and soup made from healthy ingredients is becoming increasingly visible in the Czech Republic. This is mainly amongst the younger generation of urban singles who strongly appreciate the benefits of a healthy diet and are willing to spend to achieve this.
