The main competitive strategy within edible oils is pricing, with leading players lowering their unit prices through promotional activity as they attempt to maintain sales among price-sensitive consumers. In addition, private label players are offering similar ranges addressing the leading trends, with these affordable products constraining overall unit price growth.
The pandemic and subsequent restrictions saw many consumers cooking at home from scratch out of necessity. For many South Africans, this is the more affordable option compared to purchasing ready meals or ordering takeaway/home delivery.
While many South Africans are cooking more often at home, the demand for convenient fast food is also increasing. This is because rising numbers of consumers are time-poor, resulting in increasing demand for edible oils through foodservice.
