Dairy products and alternatives in 2024: The big picture
The Moroccan market for dairy products and alternatives is projected to experience a flat performance in retail volume in 2024. Despite a significant recovery from the high inflation levels seen in the previous year, this has not been sufficient to restore consumer confidence.
Key trends in 2024
Morocco has been experiencing a decline in fertility rates, driven by the trend towards smaller family sizes and increased use of contraception. This demographic shift is having a negative impact on the baby food market, further compounded by the fact that most new births are among low-income families who often prefer breastfeeding and home-made infant nutrition due to financial constraints.
Competitive landscape
Centrale Danone SA continues to lead the market for dairy products and alternatives in Morocco. However, the company has seen a decline in retail value share over the review period, due to rising competition from local and regional players.
Channel developments
The popularity of small local grocers continues unabated in Morocco, due to unmet needs in modern retail channels. Consumers also appreciate the credit facilities offered by these traditional stores, which are generally unavailable in supermarkets, unless an individual has a credit card.
What next for dairy products and alternatives?
The Moroccan dairy products and alternatives market is expected to see slow retail volume growth over the next five years, with a slight acceleration later in the forecast period. Consumer confidence is likely to remain low, at least in the short term, due to the lingering effects of high inflation.
