After a period of consultation in South Africa, there is potential for new front-of-package labelling regulations to be applied to packaged foods and beverages considered high in sugar, salt and fat over the forecast period. Products with the mandatory labels will be prohibited from being marketed to children, which implicates cooking ingredients and meals such as sweet spreads and ready meals.
Vegetarian is set to remain the most popular claim within cooking ingredients and meals in South Africa over the forecast period, despite predictions for marginal retail volume decline, as some consumers will remain under financial pressure and avoid specific health claims if they are considered more expensive. Albeit from a lower sales base, demand for plant-based and vegan cooking ingredients and meals is set to mostly rise over the forecast period.
Post-pandemic, health and wellness remains top-of-mind for many consumers in South Africa. Consumers are likely to move away from fad diets, and look to adopt a more balanced approach to healthy living, which is expected to drive up demand for healthier alternatives.
