Cameroon Snacks Market 2025$675.0
Anticipated trends indicate that the Cameroon snacks market will achieve incremental growth of USD 124.6 million, translating to a CAGR of around 6.5% during the forecast period of 2025 to 2030. Cameroon is emerging as a growth market for snacks driven by a dual engine of urban youth demand and a revival in local ingredient use. With over 60% of its population under the age of 25, demand for inexpensive, flavorful snacks is expanding rapidly, particularly in cities such as Douala and Yaoundé. Vendors and mid-sized manufacturers are modernizing offerings like chin-chin, banana chips, and puff-puffs into retail-ready versions that extend shelf life and meet safety standards. These reengineered snacks are gaining traction among schoolchildren and young adults who value portability and flavor variety.
Rising interest in indigenous crops such as plantains, yams, and groundnuts is also encouraging snack producers to incorporate local value chains. Small agro-processors are developing fryers and dryers to handle bulk snack preparation, supporting rural employment and regional brand creation. This local sourcing strategy aligns with Cameroon’s broader ambition to diversify its food economy beyond basic staples. As inflation pressures reshape consumer expectations, affordable snacks with local authenticity are increasingly seen as value-driven daily indulgences.
