Market Report, "Canned/Preserved Food Packaging in South Africa", published

There was a marked trend towards downsizing in canned/preserved food packaging in the last two years of the review period. This trend was seen as players struggled to cope with rising production costs without alienating consumers, as canned/preserved food is often chosen due to its low prices. Foodcorp for example switched its Glenryck pilchard cans from 425g to 400g in 2014, with this not only enabling a lower pack price but also bringing this product into line with the international industry standard unit size of 400g.

Industry Prospects

Canned/preserved food is a fairly mature product area but will continue to see retail volume sales growth in the forecast period, thanks to offering low prices and convenience in the form of a long shelf life. With most consumers opting for canned/preserved food as a low-priced option, metal food cans will continue to dominate in the forecast period and will continue to drive absolute retail volume growth with a retail volume CAGR of 4%. This is the traditional packaging format for canned/preserved food and will also generally continue to offer the lowest prices, thus appealing to the majority of consumers.
