changing patterns

[Ex-Монги]

another stupid question. Sry.

"Retail flour market is changing patterns at the moment"

Thanks

[Irisha]

контекста недостаточно. предположу, что речь идет об изменении тенденций

[Ex-Монги]

не похоже.

Контекст: "The retail flour market is currently relatively unexposed to main market tendencies. On the one hand, retail flour consumpition in big cities is currently declining as urban populations reduce flour-based baking. On the other hand, in some regions - especially in southern Russia - households are switching from large to smaller packages of flour, which naturally leads to the increase consumption of retail flour".

По-моему, речь о том, что меняются тенденции потребления, сложившиеся по различным группам потребителей.

а можно, что рынок претерпевает изменения? (pattern by Hornby - a way in which smth happens, develops, is arranged, etc.)
