Value sales of snacks in Angola are increasing in 2025, supported by multiple factors including population growth, industrial expansion, and evolving consumer preferences. Angola’s industrial production recorded a notable increase in early 2024, with the food sector up by 4.1%, reflecting the government’s push to diversify the economy. As the population grows annually, snack demand continues to rise, especially among young consumers. Infrastructure improvements, such as the launch of BB Eskebra by Grupo Carrinho and the expansion of Maxi supermarket into Lubango, have enhanced access to snacks across the country.
Consumers are increasingly inclined to purchase snacks produced by national brands, which benefit from affordability, expanding product variety, and improved quality. While international brands remain present, the growing number of local entries – often aligned with Angolan flavour profiles and dietary preferences – is strengthening consumer loyalty to domestic producers.
Grupo Carrinho is one of the leading companies within snacks overall in 2025. The company produces the Tio Lucas brand, present in the sweet biscuits category. Dulceria Nacional was also a major player with the Arcor brand, spanning sweet biscuits and confectionery. These companies have benefited from local sourcing of raw materials, a robust retail and distribution infrastructure, and government incentives promoting domestic production.
Supermarkets, hypermarkets, and convenience stores were the leading distribution channels within snacks overall in 2025, with their value share continuing to rise. These channels have expanded their presence throughout Angola, especially beyond central districts, increasing accessibility for consumers. Key retailers include Shoprite, Candando (supermarkets), Kero (hypermarkets), and Bem Me Quer and Arreiou (convenience stores). Retailers are leveraging digital marketing and promotional strategies to engage consumers, with high-priority snack products often strategically placed to boost visibility.
Value sales of snacks are set to rise over the forecast period. Angola’s young population – over half of the population – is likely to sustain strong demand for snack products. Local flavour preferences and expanded product variety will support growth, while rising shelf availability offers options at various price points. As purchasing power increases, demand for premium and high-quality products is also expected to grow, aided by government support for local manufacturing.
