"South Africa Food & Drink Report Q2 2016" is now available at Fast Market Research

Growth in South Africa's food and drink industry will be tepid due to a weaker economic outlook and lower consumer spending. Cash-strapped consumers will restrict growth for premium products in the industry, while rising health consciousness and the proposal of a tax on sugary drinks will suppress growth in the fast food and soft drinks industry. The MGR sector will be boosted by the underdeveloped non-urban areas offering strong growth opportunities.

Key Views & Developments

Rising food prices will impact negatively on consumer spending, as our Country Risk team forecast private consumption and household spending to fall to 1.0% and 4.0% respectively in 2016.

Soft drink sales will be volatile to new industry risks presented by the ongoing economic headwinds as well as the proposal of a tax on sugary drinks in April 2017.
