Market in <strong>Ghana</strong><br />

The demand <strong>for</strong> soft drinks in <strong>Ghana</strong><br />

is significant and <strong>for</strong>ecast to grow.<br />

The overall soft drinks market in <strong>Ghana</strong><br />

is estimated to be in the region of US$150<br />

million, split US$85 million in carbonated<br />

soft drinks and US$65 million in noncarbonated<br />

soft drinks1 (of which<br />

approximately US$50 million is the fruit<br />

juice market). In the carbonated soft drinks<br />

market, Coca-Cola has a 95 percent market<br />

share.<br />

Based on KPMG’s interview programme,<br />

the <strong>Ghana</strong>’s soft drinks market has the<br />

potential to grow at around 5 percent per<br />

annum between 2007 and 2010.<br />

Although official statistics appear unreliable<br />

in absolute terms, the available data, taken<br />

together with market evidence and KPMG’s<br />

interview programme, indicates a significant<br />

growth trend in fruit juice imports.<br />

Export possibilities<br />

Neighbouring countries represent potential<br />

additional markets, particularly where these<br />

markets are currently underdeveloped.<br />

<strong>Ghana</strong> could act as a central manufacturing<br />

location from which neighbouring countries’<br />

soft drinks markets could be supplied.<br />

Page 30<br />

Limitations in transport infrastructure and<br />

lower levels of consumer affluence are likely<br />

to act as constraints to entering<br />

neighbouring markets.<br />

While Nigeria represents a substantial<br />

fruit juice market in the region, KPMG<br />

interviews indicate that the market’s relative<br />

maturity and the high costs associated with<br />

shipping product from <strong>Ghana</strong> to Nigeria, act<br />

as notable deterrents to attempts to access<br />

the market.<br />

Successful market entry into the expansive<br />

markets of the US and Europe is likely to be<br />

dependent on developing a partnership with<br />

an established market player.<br />

The fruit juice markets in the US and<br />

Europe are dominated by a limited number<br />

of suppliers and retailers.<br />

• Three suppliers account <strong>for</strong> almost 75<br />

percent of the US fruit juice market 2<br />

• In the UK, four supermarkets account <strong>for</strong><br />

over 80 percent of all grocery sales 3<br />
