Ghana Snacks Market 2025

Driven by strong market fundamentals, the Ghana snacks market is expected to achieve rapid growth, adding USD 257.3 million in value and delivering a CAGR of approximately 10.6% through the forecast period. Ghana’s snack market is advancing through the interplay of local flavor fidelity and formal retail expansion. Street snack staples such as kelewele (spiced plantains), bofrot (fried dough), and roasted groundnuts are increasingly appearing in sealed pouches with modern branding and food safety labeling. Urban consumers, particularly millennials and Gen Z in Accra and Kumasi, are responding to these formats that offer cultural familiarity in a portable, hygienic package. Convenience and taste remain the key motivators in this early stage of market formalization.

The local agriculture sector is providing the foundation for indigenous snack innovation. Ghanaian cassava, yam, and plantain are being utilized to produce gluten-free chips and flours that find their way into baked snacks, bars, and crisps. Local SMEs are receiving support from both government and private funds to scale snack production aimed at both domestic and ECOWAS export markets. As consumers demand more health-conscious and traceable products, Ghana’s homegrown snack sector is evolving into a vital bridge between traditional nutrition and modern convenience.
