May and June: <\/strong>Tourism Drives F&B Sales<\/h3>\n

In May and June, tourist flows significantly influenced consumption patterns, with 15 million tourists recorded in June alone, half of whom were Italians traveling through the Belpaese. Inflationary pressure eased compared to 2023, yet pasta consumption dropped by 3.3%, while fresh pasta sales surged by 6.7%. Preserves and condiments remained stable, whereas UHT dairy (-5.5%), packaged ice cream (-5.3%), and precooked meals (-4.3%) all saw significant declines.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

July and August Sweet Snacks, Cheese, and Yogurt Shine<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In July, staple food categories continued to struggle, with fresh milk (-3%), pasta (-3.8%), and UHT dairy (-6%) seeing declines. However, yogurt (+3.4%) and sweet snacks (+3.8%) saw significant gains, bolstered by the arrival of summer. Fresh pasta also posted a 2.4% growth compared to the same period in 2023.<\/p>\n

By August, snack sales reached \u20ac144 million, with a 2.1% volume increase despite a 6% year-over-year rise in average prices. Cheese and yogurt also posted strong performances, growing by 1.9% and 5.8%, respectively, compared to the previous month. These trends highlight snacks’ growing relevance in everyday habits and meals. This trend is common to both retail and impulse-buy channels.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
