Central Europe
Globally Trending Imported Packaged Goods Exclusively Provided in Central Europe by Contest Distribution
Notwithstanding the worldwide consumer wallet squeeze and worries fueled by the present surge in raw materials, energy, etc., several Central European food countries remain quality- and not price-oriented. German shoppers, for instance, still tend to prioritise the nutritional value of the FMCG foods that they consume over their quantity. The grocery shoppers in the Czech Republic prefer more budget-friendly options but also do their best to stick to a healthy lifestyle. Hungary, well known for its wealthy culture, is another European country that has not changed its healthy food consumption habits that much. Slovakia is the next destination where lots of imported FMCGs are consumed. That’s why wholesale Europe suppliers often import household and personal hygiene goods from foreign brands there. Slovenia, despite having so many traditional sweet treasures like buckwheat pockets, fritole, layered cakes, and koštole, still brings in from abroad lots of world-famous confectionery brands. Croatia is also a promising Adriatic destination where the imported packaged goods market is developing well. Poland has always been an attractive market for fast-consuming retail goods of foreign origin. Retailers there often advertise well and propose seasonal deals that promote big savings.
