New Market Research Report: Kazakhstan Food & Drink Report Q1 2015

From: Fast Market Research, Inc.
Published: Tue Dec 16 2014


Whilst the devaluation of the teng in early 2014 and elevated consumer price inflation (forecast to stay at over 8% in 2015) will impact on household spending, private consumption is set to remain the primary driver of Kazakh economic growth and this keeps the outlook positive for spending on food and drink. Future drivers of growth will be portfolio expansion by major manufacturers and importers, including strong marketing and promotional campaigns targeting younger and more aspirational consumers. The Kazakh government's recently announced financial incentive, offering up to 30% cash back to foreign investors in newly created firms, should boost investment into domestic companies in a country that is already an attractive destination for foreign investment.
