"Egypt Food & Drink Report Q2 2012" is now available at Fast Market Research

2012-05-17 07:32:33 - New Food market report from Business Monitor International: "Egypt Food & Drink Report Q2 2012"

Egyptian food consumption values are expected to grow at a double-digit annual rates in both absolute and per-capita terms to 2016. Drivers of this trend will be a recovering economy, although elevated inflation will also play a part. In fact, food and beverage prices rose by 12.6% month-on-month (m-o-m) in February 2012, following an 11.2% rise in January, which will have a dampening effect on volumes sold. Over the medium- to long-term, the likely spread of mass grocery retail (MGR) beyond obvious urban centres and greater investment into the country's food processing sector will contribute to a more dynamic food consumption growth outlook, and we remain optimistic about the Egypt's consumer, as we continue viewing the country as having the

greatest potential as a consumer market in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

Key Company Trends

Local Producers Investing in Diversification and Capacity Expansion - In February 2012, Daily News Egypt reported that a leading Egyptian producer of packaged juice and dairy products started the construction of a new liquid food factory, which is due to be operational by mid-2013. Faragalla's new plant, which is located in Borg El-Arab, is using TetraPak technology, thus extending the long-lived partnership between the two companies. In the course of 2011, Faragalla opened four new factories, a testament to the growing demand for processed foods and beverages in Egypt. The Egyptian and the Swedish partners are also reportedly discussing future cooperation in sterilisation and homogenisation of milk and juice, which would improve product quality and safety, although also add to consumer price.

Key Risks to Outlook

Risks Remain to the Downside - Risks to our short-term forecasts remain to the downside, mostly due to the weakening external environment. In addition to a slight slowing in global growth in 2012, the outlook for the eurozone, which absorbs approximately one quarter of Egyptian exports, is particularly bleak. Downside risks to the global growth outlook are elevated moreover, and include a 'hard landing' for the Chinese economy, in addition to a potential breakup of the eurozone.
