The Convenience Food Market in Chad is experiencing minimal growth, influenced by factors such as limited access to digital technology and low health awareness among consumers. The Ready-to-Eat Meals and Soups sub-markets are also impacted by the lack of convenience offered by online services. This slow growth rate may be attributed to the underdeveloped food industry in Chad and the country's reliance on traditional methods of food preparation.

Customer preferences: Convenience foods are becoming increasingly popular in Chad, as busy urban dwellers seek efficient ways to meet their dietary needs. This trend is largely driven by the growing number of working professionals and time-strapped households. As a result, there is a rising demand for pre-packaged, ready-to-eat meals and snacks that offer convenience and variety. Moreover, with the increasing adoption of Western eating habits and a rise in disposable incomes, there is a growing preference for fast-food chains and quick-service restaurants, particularly among young adults and teenagers. This shift towards convenience foods is also being fueled by the influence of global food trends and the desire for more diverse and convenient dining options.

Trends in the market: In Chad, the Convenience Food Market within The Food market is experiencing a rise in demand for healthier options, such as organic and natural convenience foods. This trend is driven by a growing awareness of health and wellness among consumers, as well as a desire for convenience and on-the-go options. This trajectory is significant for industry stakeholders as it presents opportunities for innovation and differentiation in product offerings. However, it also poses challenges for traditional convenience food manufacturers who may need to adapt their production processes and ingredients to meet this demand.
