Report Coverage

This report covers the alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages industry in Mozambique and the local and multinational companies that operate in it. The report includes comprehensive information on the size and state of the industry and the factors that influence it. There are profiles of 15 companies including the major player Cervejas de Moçambique, PepsiCo bottling franchisee Varun Beverages, Mopani Internacional, which manufactures the popular brand Fizz, Yaafico Industrial which produces the carbonated soft drink Frozy and gin and whisky producer Diageo Moçambique. South African companies Shoprite, Woolworths and Massmart, which sell beverages in the country, are also profiled.

The Beverages Industry in Mozambique

A new entrant in the beer market and a number of commitments by industry players to increase capacity reflect investor interest in Mozambique’s relatively underdeveloped, but expanding beverages market, despite the challenging operating environment. Coca-Cola Beverages Africa dominates Mozambique’s non-alcoholic beverages market. The commercial beer segment was previously controlled by Cervejas de Moçambique, which is 49%-held by AB InBev. But the opening of a US$100m brewery in Maputo in March 2019 by Dutch brewer Heineken has triggered a beer war.

Local Production

Notwithstanding efforts to develop domestic production capacity, Mozambique continues to be highly reliant on imported inputs, including glass bottles, which are imported from South Africa. Tax relief is being offered to producers that procure 50% or more of inputs locally, and industry role players said this has helped bring down the cost per litre of alcohol produced. The government offered reduced tax to companies that set up new breweries for 2018, 2019 and 2020. Cervejas de Moçambique’s launch of Impala, a beer made from maize, was expected to create 3,500 farm jobs as the company sources its maize locally.

Report Coverage

The Manufacture, Wholesale and Retail of Beverages in Mozambique investigates the local beverages market, recent developments and factors influencing the success of the formal sector. The report profiles five companies, including CDM which has a virtual monopoly in the commercial beer brewing segment. The company, which employs 1,400 people and generated revenue of approximately US$300m in 2014, produces over 2 million hectolitres (hl) of beer per annum. Also profiled is Coca-Cola Sabco Mozambique which has market share of approximately 85% in the carbonated soft drinks segment.

The Manufacture, Wholesale and Retail of Beverages in Mozambique

This report focuses on the beverages industry in the Republic of Mozambique, one of the fastest growing frontier economies on the African continent. Mozambique’s beverages industry is characterised by a small number of large companies and a large number of micro-entrepreneurs. The value of the formal beverages industry is estimated at US$600m, but reliable statistics for the informal sector are not available.

Challenging Conditions

The informal beverages sector is unregulated and formal manufacturers have to contend with cheap imports, home brews, liquor that enters the market illegally and widespread corruption. Inadequate infrastructure, poor service delivery, erratic power and water supply, high poverty levels, as well as a shortage of skilled labour are all barriers in the manufacturing, wholesale and retail sectors.

Investment in the Sector

Despite the country’s notoriously challenging operating environment, the appetite for risk has not abated and prospective investors appear eager to tap into Mozambique’s relatively underdeveloped, but rapidly expanding soft drink and alcoholic beverages market. Beer maker Cervejas de Moçambique (CDM) has made substantial investments in capacity expansion, with major extensions at its three breweries scheduled to be completed within the next three years. The company signalled its intention of entering the spirits sub-sector with its acquisition of Lusovinhos in December 2013 and British multinational, Diageo established a spirits production facility in the country in 2014.
