Overall sugar confectionery in South Africa is expected to see minimal retail volume declines for the first few years of the forecast period, before returning to growth towards the end of the forecast period. Meanwhile, solid growth is expected to be maintained in retail current value terms, as inflation remains high, and price rises are set to continue.
Given that many consumers are cash-strapped, now more than ever before, they are likely to seek out more affordable alternatives to the mainstream sugar confectionery products available. Cheap imported sugar confectionery products provide a suitable alternative due to their lower price point.
There are two different types of shoppers in South Africa. One can afford to buy in bulk to save money, and another can only afford to buy smaller pack sizes.
A draft regulation – Regulations Relating to the Labelling and Advertising of Foodstuffs – was released in South Africa in 2023. There is no definitive news on this piece of legislation, but it is still expected to be implemented some time over the forecast period.
