The Baby Food Sector in South Africa, 2019

Summary
"The Baby Food Sector in South Africa, 2019", is an analytical report by GlobalData which provides extensive and highly detailed current and future market trends in the South African market.

The top three economic groups - representing just 24.5% of the population in 2015 - are the main purchasers of commercially prepared baby food. The sector remained vibrant up to 2016, despite a poor economic climate, but has recently been depressed by lower birth numbers and a continuing sluggish economy. However, all categories, except drinks, have expanded in real terms. Wet meals registered the highest growth, with retail sales doubling, thanks to the appearance of new products, principally pouches, which have balanced the swing towards home-prepared meals. Milks, however, remains the dominant category. There is significant domestic production, with Nestl producing milks and cereals locally. Other local producers include Tiger Brands, Aspen, and Rhodes Food Group. Imports - primarily from Germany - have fallen considerably. Despite losing share, Nestl remains dominant, accounting for 52.5% of value in 2018, followed by Tiger Brands (Purity). Aspen (which sold its business to Lactalis in late 2018) has been strengthening its position. Other players include Abbott and companies offering organic or healthier food, including Allganix (Ollis), Hipp, Rhodes (Squish), and Woolworths. Supermarkets are the main distribution channel, but pharmacies are also significant, especially for milks and cereals. The market is expected to increase, largely attributable to price rises, while consumption will be constrained by the expected fall in the number of live births, but it should be encouraged to some extent by a stronger economy and product innovation.
