While savoury snacks should see overall retail volume sales increase steadily throughout the forecast period, it will remain something of a niche area in Cameroon. The biggest challenge it faces will continue to be the strong preference for sweeter snacks among consumers, with high unit prices, a relatively narrow assortment and limited distribution further constraining its potential for expansion.
With purchasing power among Cameroonians having recently been weakened by high inflation and the government’s import substitution policy driving up the cost of foreign brands, local manufacturers offering more affordable products are expected to strengthen their presence in savoury snacks over the forecast period. Superior knowledge of the traditional tastes and preferences of consumers will also help domestic companies to gain ground.
Popcorn has long been a popular snack food and festive treat in Cameroon. While unpackaged varieties sold by roadside vendors still account for the lion’s share of consumption, it is expected increasing concerns about the hygiene practices of these operators and the government’s ongoing crackdown on informal trading will help to improve the supply of and demand for ready-to-eat packaged and branded popcorn over the forecast period.
