FAB West Africa: Where Confectionery and Snacks Meet Opportunity
FMCG, beverages, equipment, and ingredients are other featured sectors at the
Continent’s leading F&B trade show.
More than 150 exhibitors will be showcasing confectionery
and snack products at this year’s Food & Beverage West Africa, running from
June 10th to 12th. They will be joining more than 200 other exhibitors at the largest F&B trade show taking place in Africa.
The high profile of the confectionary and snack market at the show reflects the forecast revenue in Nigeria for 2025, estimated at ₦ 110.0 trillion ($71 billion) according to Statista . Revenue for the sector is expected to approach a 12 per cent compound annual growth rate by 2028.
In addition to snacks and confectionery, other key sectors
that will feature include the FMCG market, beverages, ingredients, equipment,
machinery and packaging, rice/pulse/cereals, and frozen and canned goods.
Food & Beverage West Africa, now in its sixth edition,
will take place at the Landmark Centre on Victoria Island, Lagos. More than 6,000
F&B industry professionals from across West Africa, including those
involved in processing, manufacturing, import and distribution, through to
retail and hospitality, are expected to attend over the three days of the
event.
Products will be on display from more than 50 countries from
around the world, with 9 countries having exhibitor pavilions – Turkey, Dubai,
China, India, USA, Indonesia, Italy, Egypt, and Tunisia. Also in the spotlight
will be more than 50 local exhibitors, in addition to our SME Zone dedicated to
Nigerian F&B entrepreneurs.
Food & Beverage West Africa is organised by BtoB Events.
Brad Smith, Exhibition Manager, says: “Food and Beverage West Africa has become
Africa’s premier trade show for the food and beverage industry. In 2024, the
event featured more than 300 exhibitors from over 40 countries, making it an essential platform
for companies looking to enter or expand across the West African market.
“If you are seeking new and exciting products that have yet
to be seen in the West African market, then FAB is simply unmissable. The
exhibition will demonstrate a huge range of products from all different F&B
categories, many being seen in West Africa for the first time.
“From confectionery and snacks to FMCG from all over the
world, from alcohol and energy drinks to coffee, tea and hot drinks, from
sauces, spices and condiments to meat, poultry and rice, from machinery and packaging
for manufacturers to equipment for kitchens and hospitality, this year’s
exhibition is featuring more exhibitors, more countries and more products than
ever!”
BtoB Events is proud that exhibitors and visitors regard Food
& Beverage West Africa as the only opportunity for businesses from around
the world to access the key decision makers from across the African food and
beverage industry, says Mr. Smith. “There isn’t another platform like FAB West
Africa. Here’s to another year of unprecedented success!”
