Frankfurters are the second most popular meat product with a market share of 16 per cent in terms of volume. Packaged frankfurters are increasingly popular, with a market share of 73 per cent.

The combined market share of modern store types (over 400 square meters) rose from 65 per cent in 2006 to 72 per cent in 2007. Average prices reflect changes in the points of purchase.
