Analyst Opinion

The Food market in Sudan is facing subdued growth, attributed to factors such as limited access to technology, low consumer awareness about health, and lack of convenience in online food services. Despite this, the market shows potential for growth with increasing demand for dairy products, meat, fruits, and vegetables. However, challenges in the supply chain and limited infrastructure may hinder the market's growth rate.

Customer preferences: Consumers in Sudan are increasingly turning towards healthier and more sustainable food options. This trend is driven by a growing awareness of the impact of diet on overall health and well-being. As a result, there is a rise in demand for organic and locally sourced produce, as well as plant-based alternatives to traditional meat products. This shift in consumer preferences is also influenced by cultural beliefs and values that prioritize natural and whole foods. Additionally, there is a growing interest in food delivery and meal kit services, catering to the busy lifestyles of urban dwellers.

It presents significant opportunities for industry stakeholders, such as retailers and delivery companies, to tap into a larger customer base and potentially increase sales. However, it may also pose challenges for smaller businesses without the resources to compete in the digital space.
