PROSPECTS

Gum sales supported by a manufacturer focus on flavour innovation

Kenyan consumers are becoming more sophisticated and are constantly seeking new tastes from the confectionery they buy. This is forcing gum manufacturers to innovate in terms of flavour, in turn leading to stronger competition within the category.

Kenyan consumers also looking for healthier types of gum

Many of Kenya’s mid- and high-income consumers are now well aware of the rising health concerns associated with sugarised gum thanks to access to information online about the dangers of a high sugar intake, with this being largely blamed for the rising incidence globally of obesity and diabetes. As a result, more Kenyans are opting for sugar free variants of chewing gum.

Manufacturers target mainly young urban consumers

In 2019, gum manufacturers continued to focus on various unconventional advertising methods to target young urban dwellers, with these including the use of promotional staff on major streets and in-store product sampling. It has become more important for gum manufacturers to change the perception of chewing gum, with even those in the relatively conservative corporate world now viewing gum chewing as a means of relaxation.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Gum remains heavily in the hands of Wrigley thanks to a wide product portfolio and heavy advertising

Wrigley Co (East Africa) continued to overwhelmingly dominate gum in 2019, with the category’s remaining sales accounted for by Mondelez International, Lotte Confectionery and local player Kenafric Industries. Wrigley’s position can be attributed to the strength of brands such as PK Gum, Doublemint, Wrigley’s (under which it offers the Extra, Cool Air, Airwaves and Juicy Fruit lines) and Orbit, which all benefit from heavy marketing support and widespread distribution through both modern and traditional grocery retailers, while also being available at affordable prices.

Wrigley and Mondelez driving the trend towards sugar free gum

Multinationals such as Wrigley and Mondelez have recognised the fact that Kenyans are becoming increasingly health conscious thanks to the influence of the global health and wellness trend and the part played by the internet in disseminating information. This is leading to them increasing their focus on sugar free gum under their respective Orbit and Dentyne brands.

2019 brings a further gain in share for Kenafric Industries

Although still accounting for only a minor share of retail value sales, Kenafric Industries continued to gain ground in 2019. The company benefits from offering competitively priced gum.
