Internet retailing was the fastest growing home and garden distribution channel over 2012-2017.

Over the course of 2020, demand for general purpose reloadable cards increased substantially, resulting in a spike in the number of open loop pre-paid cards in circulation as very strong growth was recorded in open loop pre-paid card transactions. The main reason for this favourable trend is the substantial shift that has been seen away from the use of cash and towards the use of financial cards generally, a shift motivated by concerns over the potential for banknotes and coins to transmit…

On 15 March 2020, the Dutch government announced additional measures against the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the country, including the closure of foodservice outlets, save for takeaway and delivery services. This measure was prolonged until 1 June 2020, although subsequent restrictions were imposed as the government faced upturns in the numbers of infections, especially in October-November 2020. Other lockdown measures included the closure of schools and universities and cultural…

Retail demand for packaged food is expected to surge in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. After the first case of COVID-19 was reported in North Macedonia in February 2020, consumer fears for the future and talk of lockdown restrictions fuelled panic buying and stockpiling behaviours across the country. Panic buying and stockpiling was particularly intense immediately following the initial outbreak and then, again, in March following the government’s implementation of lockdown…

Numerous interesting trends emerged in Peru’s financial cards and payments industry as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020. The most important and influential of these trends was the substantial shift seen away from the use of cash and towards the use of financial cards in general. This trend needs to be assessed within the context that cash remains the dominant payment method in Peru, a situation which is underpinned by the country’s very high unbanked population. Furthermore,…

In 2020, many consumers were worried about the uncertain future and wanted to limit their shopping trips where possible in order to avoid potential exposure to the COVID-19 virus. As such, many Macedonian customers turned to panic buying and stockpiling during the COVID-19 crisis. In edible oils, this behaviour was particularly noticeable when it came to sales of sunflower oil, which is the largest product area in edible oils. Panic buying in sunflower oil led to temporary stock shortages as…

2020 saw credit cards in Peru register a negative performance in transactions value and volume terms, while the number of credit cards in circulation also declined over the course of the year. The obvious reason for this poor performance for the category during the year was the COVID-19 pandemic, more specifically the very strict quarantine lockdown that was in place throughout the country during the initial stages of the pandemic. Even once the lockdown was lifted, the strict approach taken…

In 2020, many consumers turned to stockpiling following the outbreak of COVID-19 in North Macedonia. This was a response to the uncertainty caused by the virus, as nobody knew how long lockdown would last or whether there would be further outbreaks. Consumer stockpiling is expected to peak in March, April and May in 2020, with increased consumption of products across the category, but especially RTE cereals.

Breakfast cereals is showing healthy growth in 2020, having benefitted from stockpiling during periods of lockdown. The wide availability of breakfast cereals, along with the long shelf life, ease of storage and reasonable prices, all worked in the category’s favour, thus leading to the boost in sales seen. In particular, muesli and granola is seeing double-digit growth, supported by the health and wellness trend, which is also benefiting products in oats and flakes which are positioned as…

As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, the government of North Macedonia implemented strict measures related to the distribution and handling of food which are applicable to the baked goods category. These restrictions are expected to have a particular impact on the distribution and handling of bread, both packaged and unpackaged.

COVID-19 lockdown periods in Ireland have a positive impact on packaged baked goods in 2020, due to the longer shelf life compared to fresh baked goods. This can partly be evidenced by packaged pastries showing the highest value growth in 2020. Bread is also a primary staple of Irish breakfasts and suppers, therefore bread saw a degree of consumer stockpiling response to home-seclusion. Additionally, cakes and pastries have also served as a comforting indulgence for consumers during this…

As a result of COVID-19 lockdown restrictions, chocolate spread has seen a small revival in popularity in Peru in 2020, with some consumers viewing the product as a small indulgence while stuck at home. It is also often used as a popular filling or topping for cupcakes, cookies and cakes, which has boosted demand as many consumers took up baking as a hobby during the quarantine period.
