    Introduction

    • Wine, cider, and spirits revenues have grown strongly, and bottled and sachet water, and carbonated drinks continue to grow.

    Outlook

    • Non-alcoholic drinks revenues are projected to grow at an average of 15% a year in the medium term.

    • In anticipation of high demand, companies will continue to invest and innovate in plant and equipment to maintain and increase market share.
    • 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.

    Report Coverage

    This report focuses on the manufacture of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, and the wholesale and retail beverages market in Ghana. It includes comprehensive information on the country and economic environment, size and state of the sector, major players, government initiatives and various influencing factors. There are profiles of 17 companies including The Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Ghana, the largest player in the domestic carbonated soft drinks market, Twellium Industrial Company Ghana, which produces soft drinks, energy drinks and mineral water, alcoholic beverages producers Guinness Ghana Breweries and Accra Brewery and cordial producer Kasapreko Company.

    Introduction

    This report focuses on Ghana’s US$1.2bn beverages industry, which has been earmarked for expansion under the government’s One District, One Factory industrial transformation programme. In addition to the manufacture of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, this report covers the wholesale and retail beverages market in the West African nation. Although traditional drinks remain an integral part of Ghanaian culture, the shift from traditional beverages to branded products is steadily gaining momentum. Despite supply chain disruptions and a decline in out-of-home consumption during the coronavirus pandemic lockdown, the industry remained relatively resilient in 2020. Ghana is one of the more rapidly growing economies on the continent and, as the host nation of the African Continental Free Trade Area Secretariat, is expected to play an increasingly prominent role in intra-African trade.

    Strengths

    • Ghana acts as a gateway to West Africa and is a trading hub of strategic importance.
    • Ghana’s beverages industry is a resilient sector, which was on an upward growth trajectory prior to the onset of the coronavirus pandemic.
    • Multinational beverage companies have made substantial investments in the sector.
    • The industry is innovative and engages in product development.

    Weaknesses

    • Many inputs are not locally-available and have to be imported.
    • Modern retail outlets are underdeveloped.
    • Production costs are high.
    • Productivity is low, largely due to unreliable power.
    • There is a shortage of qualified professionals with technical and managerial skills.

    Opportunities

    • Government incentives, such as the One District, One Factory programme.
    • Growing demand from high-end consumers for premium brands.
    • Rising urbanisation and an emerging middle class continue to drive demand across all segments.
    • Tailoring ready-to-drink beverages and other products for female millennials.
    • The development of ecommerce channels.
    • The migration of consumers from informal home brews to branded beverages.
    • With the African Continental Free Trade Area Secretariat based in its capital, Ghana is planning to spearhead the drive to promote intra-African trade.

    Threats

    • A resurgence of separatist activity could destabilise eastern Ghana’s Volta region.
    • Counterfeiting and the illegal trade in beverages constitutes a major threat to the Ghanaian beverages industry.
    • Domestic and global recessionary pressures.
    • Further disruption to manufacturing operations and trade resulting from the coronavirus pandemic.
    • Further weakening of the Ghanaian currency.
    • Ghana’s exposure to weak commodity prices.
    • The impact of future global trade arrangements on trade flows.

    Outlook

    The collapse of out-of-home sales following the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic has profoundly disrupted Ghana’s beverages industry. Although at-home consumption has risen, it has only partially offset the loss of revenue typically generated from sales to restaurants, hotels, bars and other venues. However, despite the extremely challenging trading environment, role players say that the industry was relatively resilient in 2020. While the rapid rise of online retail is a significant development, role players do not anticipate that Ghanaian shoppers will be foregoing the shopping mall experience in the near future. They predict that companies will increasingly focus on developing new products tailored to Ghana’s largely untapped female millennial market. With the vaccination rollout underway and business confidence recovering, analysts say that Ghana’s economic growth prospects look promising.

    Report Coverage

    This report focuses on the manufacture of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages as well as the wholesale and retail trade in beverages in the Ghanaian market. It investigates the local beverages market, recent developments and factors influencing the success of the formal sector. The report also profiles seventeen manufacturers, including Ghana’s largest brewer Guinness Ghana Breweries Limited (GGBL) which has market share of over 60%, indigenous alcoholic beverage manufacturer, Kasapreko Company Limited (KCL) and Voltic Ghana, the market leader in bottled water.

    Introduction

    This report focuses on the manufacture of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages in the Republic of Ghana and also covers the wholesale and retail trade in beverages in the Ghanaian market. The beverages sub-group, which is one of the oldest industries in the West African nation, contributed approximately US$97.6m to the GDP of Ghana in 2014. The industry plays a critical role in the Ghanaian economy and provides several thousand direct and indirect employment opportunities across the value chain. As a gateway to West Africa, Ghana has emerged as an important consumer market that offers significant growth potential. The country is also a regional trading hub of strategic importance.

    Strengths

    • Ghana is viewed as a gateway to West Africa’s consumer market.
    • Local agricultural sourcing impacts positively on the Ghanaian economy.
    • The beverages industry has experienced sustained growth in recent years.
    • The industry is innovative and several successful new brands have been created.

    Weaknesses

    • Production costs are high. Many inputs have to be imported which drives costs higher.
    • Productivity is low, largely due to power constraints.
    • Retail outlets are underdeveloped.
    • Skilled professionals are in short supply.
    • The industry is highly regulated and the cost of compliance is high.
    • Working capital and long-term financing are difficult to procure and interest rates are high.

    Opportunities

    • Rising urbanisation, together with the emerging middle class, continues to drive demand across all segments.
    • The development of retail and distribution networks.
    • The spirits market is currently underdeveloped. The international premium or ‘luxury drinks’ market offers potential for growth.
    • Trading consumers up from informal home brews to branded beverages.

    Threats

    •  The weakening of global markets and the ongoing weakness of the oil price.
    • Power insecurity poses a threat to productivity.
    • The illegal trade in beverages constitutes a major challenge to the Ghanaian beverages industry.
    • Worsening macroeconomic outlook, including inflationary pressures, the depreciation of the Ghanaian cedi and higher taxes.

    Outlook

    Despite its recent economic woes, Ghana is still viewed by many analysts as a preferred destination for international trade and investment in the West African sub-region. Analysts believe that the Ghanaian market is largely untapped and that opportunities for growth exist in both the alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages segments. It is anticipated that heightened brand awareness and the emerging urbanised middle class will increasingly drive demand for branded beverages across all segments. On the macroeconomic front, analysts forecast that the implementation of tighter monetary policy and other stabilisation measures will result in slower economic growth in Ghana in the short term, but that economic activity will recover in the medium term, growing at an average annual rate of around 6.7%. However, given Ghana’s high level of public debt, borrowing on the commercial market could prove difficult. Notwithstanding initiatives to diversify the Ghanaian economy, the West African nation remains vulnerable to sustained downward pressures on the international benchmark prices of crude oil, gold and cocoa. Exchange rate volatility impacts particularly negatively on the beverages industry, given its high level of exposure to imported inputs. Further weakening of the Ghanaian cedi would impact heavily on the industry, particularly on water sachet producers who are already struggling to remain profitable.
