Herbal/traditional products in Ethiopia delivers robust results in 2026, with retail value sales reaching ETB161 million and a year-on-year growth of 14%, outpacing broader regional performance and supported by rapid economic expansion, urbanisation, and a growing population. The environment remains highly attractive due to double-digit growth rates, growing consumer awareness, and the successful fusion of traditional efficacy with modern presentation. Persistent inflation and steep price increases are intensifying affordability concerns, especially for packaged and imported goods. Success for brands depends on leveraging digital channels, investing in product innovation, particularly through modern packaging and targeted supplements, while balancing accessibility and trust, as consumers increasingly embrace both new imported options and established local remedies.
