One major reason is that the majority of Hungarian consumers switched to cheaper food products last year – said Melisek Eszter, Nielsen’s Client Service Director. – In last year's third quarter, Nielsen revealed that 85 percent of respondents of the survey changed their spending habits compared to the previous year because they want to save money. 67 percent of them are trying to buy cheaper food.
