Introduction
• About 90% of South Africa’s spices are imported, mainly from India, China, Pakistan, Turkey, and Nigeria. \r\n
• Demand for spices and seasonings increased during the pandemic as sales of some spices linked to health benefits, such as ginger, turmeric, and garlic, increased. \r\n
• Spices are used extensively in the food industry, and demand is increasing globally due to the increasing preference for more flavourful and healthy foods. \r\n
• In the seasonings, dressings, and sauces segment, private labels are growing faster than brands, mainly due to financially-constrained consumers trading down.
Strengths
• Demand for products is ongoing.
• Low barriers for small businesses to enter.
• Support from major retailers.
• The spice and condiment industry is growing.
• Well established role players including growers, processors, importers and exporters.
Weaknesses
• Lack of disposable income affects spending.
• Shortage of skills.
• The industry is exposed to external macroeconomic factors.
Opportunities
• Demand for spices as more consumers cook at home.
• Growth in export markets.
• Private label brand growth.
• Spice farming offers export opportunities.
Threats
• Increasing costs due to loadshedding, especially for small producers.
• Rampant power outages.
• Rising cost of utilities.
• Russia-Ukraine war’s impact on fuel price and global supply chain.
Outlook
• Although the outlook for the spice and condiment sector remains positive, economic pressures, the electricity crisis and escalating operating costs will continue to exert pressure on profit margins of manufacturers and retailers. \r\n
• An industry player expected food prices to continue to rise as input costs of fertiliser and fuel increase due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. \r\n
• These and factors such as port challenges will keep up significant pressure on manufacturers, and any further increases in raw materials, or imported ingredients or products are likely to be passed on to the consumer. \r\n
• More frequent cooking at home will increase demand for affordable cooking ingredients and result in intensified competition between brands and private label. \r\n
• Tiger Brands said the outlook is challenging and required focus on cost reduction, value engineering, brand and product tiering and efficient supply chain management.
