Ethiopia Snacks Market 2025$675.0
Insights reveal that the Ethiopia snacks market is set for a healthy expansion, with an anticipated growth of USD 149.1 million, corresponding to a CAGR of nearly 7.6% from 2025 to 2030. Ethiopia’s snack sector is still nascent but poised for acceleration as urbanization and local ingredient valorization gain traction. Traditional foods like kolo (roasted barley and chickpeas), injera chips, and spiced lentil crisps are being introduced into packaged formats that cater to the growing urban middle class. Entrepreneurs are experimenting with vacuum-sealing and spice coatings to create export-ready variants while responding to domestic demand for convenient and nutritious snacks.
Government investment in agro-industrial parks and food processing zones is laying the groundwork for more scalable snack manufacturing. Regions such as Hawassa and Bahir Dar are seeing increased activity from startups that combine traditional Ethiopian food culture with modern processing techniques. By capitalizing on local crops – teff, chickpeas, and sorghum – snack makers are tapping into Ethiopia’s food heritage while targeting young, time-constrained consumers in Addis Ababa and beyond. This blend of tradition, innovation, and infrastructure investment is sowing the seeds for sustained snack market expansion.
