Staple foods in 2024: The big picture
It is expected to be a modest performance for staple foods in Algeria in 2024. With inflation continuing to be an issue, there is expected to be moderate constant value and volume growth, and with similar growth across all segments.
Key trends in 2024
Algeria has its own local production across most staple foods products and successfully competes with global brands, mainly in the economy and mid-priced segments, with price being the main driver of value sales. That being said, local players are improving their product portfolios and adding value with extra ingredients, as higher-income consumers in particular becoming increasingly health conscious.
Competitive landscape
Domestic players continue to dominate in 2024, particularly for Algeria’s most important staple, unpackaged leavened bread, where numerous small artisanal players account for most value sales. In addition, local players have the bulk of sales in dried pasta, chilled processed meat and shelf stable seafood and fruit and vegetables.
Channel developments
With unpackaged leavened bread being Algeria’s main staple, small independent bakeries are the most important retail channel. After that, small local grocers and supermarkets account for most value sales.
What next for staple foods?
Staple foods will register moderate constant value and volume growing over the forecast period. As a lot of staple foods are seen as essential ingredients, this will support volume sales, as will continuing population growth.
