The market of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and technical products (electro-IT) grew by 7.4%y\/y to RON 58.5 billion (EUR 11.77 billion) in the first half of 2024 (H1), according to a GFK report quoted by Economica.net<\/a>.\u00a0Food sales made up the largest part of the market.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lower inflation encouraged Romanian consumers, but the desire to make important purchase decisions is still at a low level, although increasing, GFK said.<\/p>\n

In volume terms, the advance was much smaller if the GFK nominal growth was deflated by the inflation that eased this year but still measured 6.2% y\/y in H1. The prices of food goods increased by 2.9% y\/y and those of non-food goods by 7.2% y\/y in H1.<\/p>\n

The statistics office reported a 4% y\/y rise in the sales of food goods and a robust 14% y\/y rise in the sales of non-food goods (not including car fuels).<\/p>\n

Of the total market assessed by GFK, RON 48.9 billion was spent on FMCG, 6.9% more than in the similar period of 2023, and RON 9.6 billion (10.3% up y\/y) on electro-IT (household appliances, phones, tablets, laptops, televisions, other IT products).<\/p>\n

Romanians spent 5.3% more on food, 11% more on non-alcoholic beverages, and 6% more on medicines in H1, according to GFK.<\/p>\n

Thus, from the consumption basket, Romanians spent 45.4% on food (compared to 46.3% last year) and 14.4% on non-alcoholic beverages (compared to 14.9% of the basket, last year).<\/p>\n

At the same time, the GFK study indicates significant increases of 73% in value for home comfort products such as air conditioners, 23% for cameras, 13% for office equipment, and 19% for small home appliances. The market for telecom products grew by 7%, and that of IT and storage by 8%.<\/p>\n
