COVID-19 impact on packaged food
The worst effects of the COVID-19 pandemic were seen in March and April, when the strictest lockdown measures were enforced by the Georgian government. There was more stabilisation in the second half of the year as some retail and foodservice outlets were able to open, albeit with restrictions in place.
COVID-19 country impact
Full border controls were imposed in Georgia on 17 March 2020, with only citizens, permanent residents, their relatives and freight transport workers allowed to enter. Universities, schools and kindergartens closed on 19 March, as did shopping centres, theatres and other public places apart from post offices and banks.
Company response
Packaged food in Georgia remains quite fragmented in 2020, with a strong presence of smaller companies and generic products, and local players competing successfully with international operators. With global supply chains impacted by the pandemic and the local economy struggling, Georgians are keen to support domestic players, whose products are often easier to come by.
Retailing shift
Packaged food growth in Georgia is underpinned by developing consumer lifestyles and the expansion of modern grocery retailers. Consumers in the country are switching from unpackaged to packaged products and away from purchases of illegal sales to legal, taxed goods.
Foodservice vs retail split
Retail volume and current value sales have increased at the expense of foodservice in most packaged food categories in 2020, with the latter suffering significant losses as restaurants, cafés, bars and hotels remained closed. Although the strictest lockdown measures were eased in late June, restrictions had to be tightened once more as the number of infections rose again.
What next for packaged food?
In coming years, packaged food in Georgia is expected to see continual growth, with a further shift from unpackaged to packaged products and increased demand for convenience foods. As urbanisation increases and disposable incomes rise once the local economy begins to recover, demand will increase for products with a longer shelf life that can be used to make easy, nutritious meals.
