Despite these challenges, the market is expected to grow steadily as consumers prioritize convenience and seek out quick and easy meal options. Ready-to-Eat Meals and Soups are sub-markets that contribute to this growth, as they cater to the busy lifestyles of urban consumers. However, the growth rate is still lower compared to other regions, highlighting the need for investment in infrastructure and technology to drive further growth.

This trend is driven by the desire for quick and easy meal solutions, as well as the influence of Westernized diets. Additionally, the growing presence of multinational fast food chains in the country has also contributed to the popularity of convenience foods among younger consumers. This shift towards convenience foods is expected to continue as the pace of life in Sudan continues to accelerate.
