The Food market in Finland has been experiencing slow growth, primarily due to a decline in consumption of traditional Finnish foods and increasing health awareness among consumers. Factors such as the rise of online grocery shopping and convenience food options have also impacted the market's growth rate. However, the sub-markets of convenience food, bread & cereal products, and sauces & spices are seeing slight growth due to changing consumer preferences. The market's negligible growth rate can also be attributed to the increasing competition from imported products and fluctuating prices of raw materials.

This trend is also influenced by a rise in vegetarian and vegan diets, as well as an increased interest in traditional Finnish cuisine and heritage foods. As a result, there has been a surge in demand for organic and plant-based products, as well as a focus on reducing food waste and supporting small-scale producers. This shift towards conscious consumption is also reflected in the popularity of farmer's markets and farm-to-table dining experiences.
