Introduction
• This report focuses on Ghana’s beverage industry, which includes the manufacture of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and the wholesale and retail beverages market. \r\n
• Traditional drinks remain a large part of Ghanaian culture, but consumers are gradually migrating to branded products. \r\n
• Demand is being driven by the rising urban population and large middle class. \r\n
• Alcoholic beverages revenues are expected to increase at 13% annually until 2026. \r\n
• Wine, cider, and spirits revenues have grown strongly, and bottled and sachet water, and carbonated drinks continue to grow. \r\n
• The continuous depreciation of the local currency, high debt-to-GDP and high inflation present operational challenges to the industry.
Strengths
• Geographical position of Ghana makes it a gateway and trading hub to West Africa.
• Local brands have improved in product quality, packaging and marketing.
• The industry is continuously innovating and engaging in product development.
• The sector is a beneficiary of substantial investments from international beverage companies.
Weaknesses
• Distribution channels and infrastructure are inadequate.
• Electricity and water supply is unreliable resulting in low productivity.
• Most machinery, equipment and inputs are not locally available and have to be imported.
• Production costs are high.
• Shortage of qualified professionals with technical skills.
Opportunities
• An increase in expatriate community.
• Consumers have become more accommodating of home-grown brands, and continue to migrate from informal home brews to branded beverages.
• Government incentive policies encourage investment in manufacturing.
• Growing demand for beverages has increased over the years.
• Growth of urban and a large middle class population.
• The African Continental Free Trade Area secretariat is based in the capital Accra, positioning Ghana a strategic partner to promote intra-African trade.
• The development of ecommerce channels.
Threats
• Ghana’s increasing debt-to-GDP ratio and inflation affecting its economic performance.
• Illegal trade in beverages threatens the survival of Ghanaian beverages industry.
• Potential exposure to commodity prices can affect revenues.
• Shortages of bottles, not enough returnable bottles coming back.
• The continuous weakening of the cedi.
Outlook
• Guinness Ghana and Accra Brewery said they would continue to invest in their businesses, including their brand, people, and increasing capacity and marketing.\r\n
• Experts believe growth will be driven by consumers shifting from informal to branded beer and by industry players balancing production of premium and lower-priced products. \r\n
• Lower inflation will provide room for growth in the beer sector. \r\n
• Non-alcoholic drinks revenues are projected to grow at an average of 15% a year in the medium term. \r\n
• Increasing disposable income is expected to drive growth of the beverages sector, particularly beer. \r\n
• In anticipation of high demand, companies will continue to invest and innovate in plant and equipment to maintain and increase market share. \r\n
• Economic challenges will persist in 2023, and the Ghanaian cedi is expected to continue to devalue, resulting in high import bills on imported raw materials.
