The South African Market Market researchers are expecting that in the countries of Southern Africa per-capita expenditure on food including bakery products (in local currency) will rise by an average of nine to fourteen percent per year in the period from 2012 to 2016. Demand for beer, soft drinks and bottled water will continue to rise too. Many of the countries of Southern Africa have
significant agricultural potential. They want to expand their agricultural production and in particular to add value in their own country. In this way they hope to both become independent of imports, and to export those products made in their own countries – and for this, modern processing and packaging machinery are required.
South Africa: Gateway to the whole of Southern Africa South Africa is becoming an evermore important gateway to the markets of the whole of the southern part of the continent. In 2012, 5.2 million tonnes of foodstuffs were processed and packaged in South Africa.
The largest segments here are dairy products and baked goods, as well as dried, processed foods. Market researchers are expecting volumes to rise in the period from 2012 to 2017 by an average of around three percent per year. Many of the foods and beverages produced in South Africa are also exported to neighbouring states. The rising demand for processed and packaged food and beverages, is reflected in rising imports of food processing and packaging machinery from all over the world. Exports to Southern Africa have more than tripled in the period 2001 to 2012 and reached in 2012 a value of 588 million euros.
Positive Voices Volker Kronseder,
Richard Clemens,
Chairman of the Board of Krones AG and President of the drinktec Advisory Board, points to the high and increasing level of demand for food and beverages in Africa:
Managing Director of the VDMA Food Processing and Packaging Machinery Association, is well aware of the significant potential in the region:
“Africa is undergoing a surge in development. Already more than one billion people live on the continent of Africa and by the end of the century that figure is set to rise to 3.6 billion. Beverages and foodstuffs will be produced and consumed in Africa and that requires technically solid, efficient and reliable machinery and plant. That is why it is important to present our technology to the market.”
“The countries in the south of Africa have developed into a very interesting sales market. This is of course coupled with rising demand for modern equipment and state-of-the-art technology for producing and packaging beverages and food. The German food processing and packaging machinery manufacturers are keen to present their spectrum of products and services in the region.”
