Alcoholic Drinks in Nigeria

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

ALCOHOLIC DRINKS RECOVERS IN TOTAL VOLUME GROWTH TERMS IN 2017

After declining in 2016, total alcoholic drinks volume sales grew in 2017 as the Nigerian economy recovered from recession. However, total volume sales growth was slower than the corresponding CAGR for the entire review period, when the market’s performance was boosted by rising incomes and growth in the country’s young and urban populations.

TRADING DOWN CONTINUES ACROSS ALCOHOLIC DRINKS

Due to enduring price sensitivity among consumers, lager continued to see a strong shift towards economy brands in 2017. Such brands were generally only distributed regionally rather than nationwide, though some did begin to expand beyond their home regions to become available in big cities such as Lagos.

COMPETITION IN ALCOHOLIC DRINKS INTENSIFIES

Nigerian Breweries Plc and Guinness Nigeria Plc, subsidiaries of Heineken NV and Diageo Plc respectively, remained the top two players in alcoholic drinks in Nigeria in total volume sales terms in 2017. However, during the review period these two companies faced increasing competition from AB InBev NV subsidiaries Pabod Breweries Ltd and International Breweries Plc, particularly in economy lager.

ON-TRADE CHANNELS CONTINUE TO LEAD BUT OFF-TRADE CONSUMPTION INCREASES STEADILY

Because people in Nigeria mainly drink in groups rather than at home, on-trade channels continued to account for the largest share of total alcoholic drinks volume sales in 2017. Beer is mostly consumed in pubs and bars, though the introduction of cans has helped to increase the overall volume share of off-trade sales in this category in recent years.

POSITIVE MARKET PERFORMANCE PROJECTED OVER THE FORECAST PERIOD

As different categories recover from the relatively weak performances seen over 2016-2017, alcoholic drinks is projected to record robust growth in total volume sales over the forecast period. Economy lager will continue to drive the expansion of the beer category, though mid-priced lager is expected to recover from several years of declining volume sales as economic conditions improve.
