Packaged food will see an acceleration in retail current value sales growth during 2020. Restrictions on movement, including a nightly curfew, that were introduced in mid-March led consumers to prepare more meals at home.
COVID-19 will have a significant effect on retail current sales of packaged food in 2020. During the early months of the pandemic, consumers stocked up on shelf stable products and cooking essentials in anticipation of future shortages.
COVID-19 restrictions in Egypt began on 25 March with the introduction of a nightly curfew from 2000hrs, but this was moved back to 2100hrs from the start of Ramadan on 23 April. All borders were closed and flights were suspended.
Despite uncertainty arising from COVID-19, many packaged food manufacturers, both local and international, have launched new products in Egypt or increased their local manufacturing capacity during 2020. This investment is being driven by population growth and improved political stability in the country.
While traditional grocery retailers, particularly independent small grocers, continue to dominate packaged food distribution in Egypt, they are progressively losing retail value share to modern grocery retailers, particularly supermarkets, as chains like Carrefour steadily expand their store networks. Modern grocery retail is particularly strong in staples like rice and pasta but much weaker in dairy products and alternatives, cooking ingredients and meals and snacks.
The closure of restaurants, cafés and hotels in mid-March had a significant impact on packaged food demand. With consumers no longer able to eat out and preparing more meals at home, it resulted in a significant shift in volume sales from foodservice outlets to the retail channel.
Despite the tightening of restrictions during December in response to a resurgence in COVID-19 cases, daily life in Egypt is set to return to something approaching normality in 2021. This will likely depress growth in retail volume sales of packaged food, as the panic buying that occurred during spring 2020 is very unlikely to be repeated.
