Analyst Opinion

The Spreads & Sweeteners eCommerce Market in Colombia is witnessing mild growth, influenced by factors such as the increasing demand for convenient online shopping, a rising interest in healthier alternatives, and the expanding variety of products available to consumers.

Customer preferences: Consumers in Colombia are gravitating towards natural and organic spreads and sweeteners, reflecting a broader cultural shift towards health and wellness. This trend is particularly pronounced among younger demographics, who prioritize clean-label products and sustainable sourcing. Additionally, the rise of home cooking during the pandemic has sparked interest in diverse culinary options, prompting consumers to explore local and artisanal brands online. As convenience remains paramount, eCommerce platforms are increasingly offering tailored recommendations, catering to evolving tastes and lifestyles.

Trends in the market: In Colombia, the Spreads & Sweeteners eCommerce market is experiencing a notable shift towards organic and natural products, driven by a consumer base increasingly focused on health and wellness. Younger consumers, in particular, are embracing clean-label options and ethical sourcing, reshaping purchasing behaviors. The pandemic has further accelerated the trend of home cooking, leading to a surge in interest for local and artisanal brands available online. As eCommerce continues to prioritize convenience, industry stakeholders must adapt to these evolving consumer preferences, potentially reshaping product offerings and marketing strategies to remain competitive.

Local special circumstances: In Colombia, the Spreads & Sweeteners eCommerce market is uniquely influenced by the country's rich biodiversity and agricultural practices that favor local ingredients. The cultural appreciation for traditional flavors, such as panela and arequipe, drives demand for artisanal products that resonate with national identity. Furthermore, regulatory factors promoting organic farming are supporting the rise of clean-label products. As urbanization increases, consumers seek convenience in online shopping, enhancing the appeal of local brands that prioritize sustainability and ethical practices, ultimately shaping the market landscape.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The Spreads & Sweeteners eCommerce market in Colombia is shaped by macroeconomic factors such as inflation rates, consumer purchasing power, and the overall economic stability of the nation. Fluctuations in global commodity prices for sugar and agricultural goods can directly affect local production costs, influencing retail prices. Additionally, Colombia's fiscal policies, including tax incentives for organic farming and small business support, encourage the growth of local brands. The rising middle class, coupled with increasing internet penetration and mobile payment adoption, is driving eCommerce growth, allowing consumers to access diverse artisanal products that reflect Colombia's cultural heritage.

Methodology

Data coverage:

Data refers to B2C enterprises. Figures are based on the sale of physical goods via a digital channel to a private end consumer. This definition encompasses purchases via desktop computers (including notebooks and laptops) as well as purchases via mobile devices (e.g., smartphones and tablets). The following are not included in the eCommerce market: digitally distributed services (see instead: eServices), digital media downloads or streams, digitally distributed goods in B2B markets, and the digital purchase or resale of used, defective, or repaired goods (reCommerce and C2C). All monetary figures refer to the annual gross revenue and do not factor in shipping costs.

Modeling approach / Market size:

Market sizes are determined by a combined top-down and bottom-up approach, based on a specific rationale for each market segment. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, third-party studies and reports, survey results from our primary research (e.g., Statista Consumer Insights Global Survey), data on shopping behavior (e.g., Google Trends, Alibaba Trends), and performance factors (e.g., user penetration, price/product). Furthermore, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations such as GDP, consumer spending, internet penetration, and population. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

Forecasts:

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the particular market. For example, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing are well suited for forecasting digital products and services due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption. The main drivers are GDP per capita, consumer spending per capita, internet penetration, and population.

Additional Notes:

The market is updated twice per year in case market dynamics change. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is considered at a country-specific level. The impact of the Russia/Ukraine war is considered at a country-specific level.
