Unlock Growth in Russia’s $150B Grocery Sector

Russia’s grocery retail market surged to $145 billion in 2025, marking a 7% year-on-year increase—a sign of strong, sustained consumer demand. At WorldFood Moscow, 63% of trade buyers attend specifically to source grocery products, making it the leading platform for international suppliers. As domestic preferences shift toward premium, organic, and health-oriented items, the market is ripe for innovation, imports, and private label expansion.

Last year, the grocery sector featured products from 379 companies and the exhibition attracted 20K+ food industry and retail professionals, of which 28% were interested in this sector.
