The rapid urbanisation trend, as well as lifestyle changes, are the main reasons behind the relatively strong growth of canned/preserved food during the last ten years. Middle-income families with women working outside the home have been looking for rapid meal solutions that can feed the family without spending lots of time on cooking, and this category has been a good answer to this demand. Relatively affordable unit prices compared to traditional meals also played a key role in this demand increase. For instance, fresh seafood is relatively very expensive and usually not available in retail outlets at all times, while canned seafood (usually tuna) is now available even in small grocery retailers in remote areas with unit prices which can be afforded even by the lower income segment of society.

The average unit price of sun care declined by 2% in current terms during 2013 due to the high levels of price competition which exist between the leading brands in the category.

Shufersal, for instance, recently launched a new range of sun care products under the Sun private label.

The high proportion of the Turkish population who live in the handful of very large cities in the country limits demand for gardening in the country as city living means that there is little room for gardens. Traditionally, gardening has been regarded as a highly valued pastime for retired senior citizens residing outside urban areas. Nevertheless, many of the residents of Turkey?s apartment blocks love keeping indoor plants in their apartments and it is common for them to decorate their balconies with plants, especially during the warmer months of spring and summer. During the last decade, rapid suburbanisation has seen many urban residents moved to suburban residential developments where are able to enjoy living in detached houses with gardens. While trimming hedges and bushes, mowing the lawn and watering the grass have historically been seen as chores in Turkey, a growing number of households are investing the time and money in hobby gardening. Turkish consumers are increasingly enjoying taking care of their gardens, with especially popular activities planting seeds and bulbs and pruning plants, with the result that more consumers are purchasing gardening products for themselves.

Moreover cotton wool/buds/pads is less expensive which was an important reason for many consumers in times of recession.

Around 70% of off-trade volumes were intended for breakfast, a meal during which consumers prefer more natural products with less sugar and which offer vitamins and minerals to provide energy and maintain health. In 2013, in line with this growing demand for healthy juices, manufacturers launched more products with no preservatives or artificial colourings as well as juices with a reduced sugar content. They also invested in PET bottles and bigger packaging in order to offer better value for money to off-trade consumers, while at the same time introducing new references which are 100% made in France.

The number of potential consumers of baby food, which are babies between 0-36-months-old, has been growing over the review period, which has helped this category to grow at a rapid pace. While there were only 4,500,000 babies in this age group in 2005, this figure reached more than 5,000,000 in 2011. This was mainly a result of the sudden population boom in the 1980s which showed its impact during this period. Baby boomers of the 1980s reached the age of marriage, and the high population in the 20-30 age range, led to a higher number of babies. It is important to note that the number of babies was only one factor that could positively affect baby food, while other factors, like an increase in the number of working women, rapid westernisation trend and low base of newer subcategories, like dried baby food, were also key factors improving sales growth.
