Nigeria Food & Drink Report Q1 2015: New research report available at Fast Market Research

From: Fast Market Research, Inc.
Published: Tue Jan 20 2015


Although we continue to forecast robust economic growth in 2015 and the years thereafter, the risks to the Nigerian economy have increased over recent quarters thanks to shifting dynamics in global oil markets. Overall, given Nigeria's population size and demographic and economic profile, we expect private consumption to be a positive contributor to headline growth in the years ahead. Nigerians currently spend more on food per capita than their counterparts in Ghana and Kenya - two of the other relatively stronger recipients of foreign direct investment in Africa from global consumer companies.

The long-term outlook remains very bright. We are forecasting average annual real GDP growth of 7.0% over the next 10 years and expect the Nigerian government to prioritise investment in vital infrastructure over our forecast period and beyond, which will greatly benefit the food and drink sector, as well as the grocery retail sector.
