In 2023, staples in Sri Lanka witnessed a shift in consumer preferences. Baked goods like fresh bread and pastries have gained popularity as more prepare their meals at home.
In 2023, staples in Sri Lanka has witnessed many changes due to evolving consumer preferences, economic challenges, and shifting behaviours. For example, there has been a notable surge in demand for baked goods, such as bread and pastries.
Sri Lankan people generally eat three main meals per day. Breakfasts are often fairly simple due to time constraints and are often eaten on-the-go, with consumer foodservice thus attracting many people.
Sri Lanka is a country with a comparatively large and expanding mid-income group. Indeed, during the review period the World Bank reclassified Sri Lanka as a middle-income economy, offering official recognition of the country’s transition from a lower-middle-income economy.
Ceylon Biscuits Limited (CBL), the leader in baked goods and processed meat, seafood and alternatives to meat, and the third-placed player in breakfast cereals, has established a distribution process that facilitates the island-wide distribution of its products through various channels. This involves the appointment of sales officers/representatives to take charge of the process in each and every district of Sri Lanka.
Over the forecast period, substantial changes and developments are anticipated for staple foods. The persistent emphasis on affordability, poised to sustain future consumer demand, is expected to drive these efforts.
