In 2022, there is hardly any consumption changes within staple foods due to the essential disposition of all categories within the industry. However, some products are seeing a stronger performance due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its subsequent restrictions coming to an end, hence driving the need for products that offer more convenience, as consumers return to their busy lifestyles.
In 2022, staple foods is seeing strong growth as the COVID-19 pandemic and its subsequent restrictions come to an end. Overall, there is no change in terms of consumption and the industry continues to largely benefit from the subsidised price for locals.
Consumers tend to eat three main meals, and snacking is common among people of all socioeconomic levels. Breakfast often consists of sandwiches and pies with various fillings, including eggs, falafel, fava beans and cheese.
No socioeconomic changes have been recorded in 2022 due to Kuwait having a very high GDP per capita which means expenditure on staple foods remains strong. Likewise, the government’s heavy substitution for locals means consumers can always afford staple foods, regardless of the economic backdrop, such as the worldwide inflation currently taking place.
There are no infrastructure problems in Kuwait, with all types of retailers accessible by road or by foot. There are many retailers that range in size from small corner stores to large hypermarkets.
Strong growth is expected to be seen in staple foods over the forecast period, mainly due to the essentiality of products such as bread, pasta, and rice. As these products are consumed by households of all income levels, the economic backdrop will not have much of an impact on the demand and consumption for such products.
