We forecast total spending on food to increase by 15.0% in 2019. Within the drinks industry, the non-alcoholic drinks segment, specifically fruit juices, will outperform alcohol categories throughout our five-year forecast period. Nevertheless, we anticipate Egyptian consumers to remain price-conscious, with purchasing preferences remaining oriented towards everyday staples and cheaper, locally-sourced food and drink options. Food and Drink Spending (2016-2023) e/f = Fitch Solutions estimate/forecast. Source: National Statistics, Fitch Solutions Latest Updates And Industry Developments • We forecast headline food sales in US dollar terms to continue to recover over 2019, rising by 15.0%, reaching USD34.6bn, up from USD30.0bn in 2018. That said, it will take time (2020 at earliest) for food spending to return to the 2015 highs (USD38.3bn) seen prior to the currency devaluation in 2016. • In January 2019, France-based dairy producer Lactalis, which already has a subsidiary in Egypt, acquired 100% of the Greenland Group for an undisclosed sum. Founded in 1995, Greenland has 8 factories in Egypt producing cheese, ghee, milk, juices and other fresh dairy products, and exports to 50 countries globally. • Pepsico Egypt announced in October 2018 that it would be pumping new investments worth USD515mn over the coming four years while also allocating more than USD16mn to develop production lines in the beverages sector to promote its operations in Egypt. • Mass grocery retail chains operating in Egypt are confronting increased price sensitivity among consumers by running promotions, creating loyalty programs, and offering bulk discounts. In some cases, they have also substituted imported products for domestic alternatives. THIS COMMENTARY IS PUBLISHED
