The Future of the Grocery Retail Market in Cameroon to 2020 - Research and Markets

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "The Future of the Grocery Retail Market in Cameroon" report to their offering.

Cameroon is the distribution hub for West Africa. Until 2015, it had mostly been ignored by major international supermarket retailers. Because Cameroon lacks the scale of Nigeria and DRC or the accessibility of Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire or Senegal it has attracted little interest. That is changing, even though the collapse in oil prices has caused a downturn in the economy.

Our forecasts for growth in Cameroon from 2017 are quite positive. Through to 2020 grocery spend will grow to levels that will support a much larger modern grocery retailing landscape.

A number of international retailers have stated an interest in entering Cameroon. The next five years will have a huge impact because of the lack of promising domestic acquisition candidates for investors that are late to market. We expect to see competition levels rise dramatically in Douala and Yaoundé, and also the first signs of accelerated modernization of grocery retail in secondary cities.
