Dutch food and e-commerce market trends

Overview

The Dutch food market is projected to reach a turnover of €81.4 billion in 2026, representing a 2.8% growth. This expansion is attributed primarily to price increases rather than volume. While food retail turnover is expected to rise by 2.9%, the foodservice sector is projected to see a 2.6% increase in turnover despite a 1.4% decline in volume.

Patrick Bramer, Director of the FoodService Instituut Nederland (FSIN), noted that consumers are becoming more price-conscious due to inflation and international uncertainty, resulting in a greater focus on discounts and more critical decision-making regarding dining out.
