LATEST TRENDS

New Product Launches to Offer New Growth Opportunities for the Adjuncts Market

Beer drinking is an integral part of South African culture. The rising beer popularity in the region is shifting consumers to demand flavored beers. Therefore, the players in the region are on developing products with new adjuncts and flavors in order to meet the increasing demand.

• For instance, in June 2022, Delta Corporation Ltd, an African brewing company, launched a new beer with a banana flavor under its brand Chibuku. The new product is a banana-flavored version of sorghum beer.

DRIVING FACTORS

Investment in Sorghum and Cassava Farming  to Propel the Adjuncts Market Growth

Sorghum is a particularly essential crop in Nigeria and the African region. In South Africa, barley production is very low due to tropical climatic conditions. Therefore, crops such as sorghum, rice, cassava, and maize thrive in the beer adjuncts market in these regions. Furthermore, several market players are adopting strategies to increase the sorghum production capacity, propelling the beer adjunct market in Nigeria.

• For instance, in November 2021, Nigerian Breweries (NB) Plc, a Nigeria-based brewing company, invested USD 189.5 million in sorghum and cassava cultivation. The company directly purchased commercial and smallholder farming in Nigeria to increase the production of sorghum and cassava, fueling the demand for beer adjuncts in the country.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Local Sourcing and Quality Discrepancies to Limit the Market Growth

The brewers in the region are focused on sourcing local ingredients to manufacture beers and other alcoholic beverages. The brewers use cheap, locally sourced grains such as corn, sorghum, and rice to

replace expensive barley malt owing to trade restrictions and currency conversion rates. These factors may impose several technical challenges in maintaining the quality of the product. Furthermore, using unmalted grains may affect the product's functionality, impeding the market's growth.
