Market Overview
The Ethiopia sweet biscuits market is forecast to grow by USD 29.8 million over the next five years, with annual growth averaging close to 7.27% through 2031. Growth is being shaped by a wider range of products after finished biscuit import restrictions eased, but local brands are still gaining traction because consumers remain highly price-conscious. Imported biscuits from markets such as Egypt, Turkey, and Italy add variety, yet foreign exchange volatility and higher costs for wheat, sugar, and fillings keep imported options expensive. This creates a favorable opening for domestic manufacturers that can offer affordable biscuits with reliable availability.
Local producers are becoming more important because they understand the need for accessible formats and familiar flavors. Domestic biscuit makers are building scale through plain, chocolate-filled, butter, and fasting-friendly products, while adjacent cookie and snack bar lines are widening consumer choice. Smaller bakeries and cookie producers also matter in urban areas because they offer affordable products and more occasion-led options. Wafers remain more import-dependent, but local entrants are gradually building presence, which should help deepen the category as production capacity expands.
Competition is becoming more dynamic as established manufacturers, challengers, and small bakeries all compete for the same everyday snacking occasions. Affordable sweet snacks outside traditional biscuits can capture attention quickly when social media visibility, low price points, and strong taste reviews come together. This is a signal for biscuit makers. Product development can no longer rely only on basic staples. Brands that monitor TikTok, Instagram, and local digital conversations can respond faster to new flavor preferences and visual snack trends.
Traditional retailers remain the main channel because corner shops, kiosks, and neighborhood markets are woven into daily routines and reach price-sensitive shoppers across urban and rural areas. Supermarkets are more relevant for imported and premium biscuits, while e-commerce and social commerce remain niche but useful for younger urban consumers seeking convenience or limited products. Inflation, contraband imports, and higher operating costs remain risks, yet the category has room to grow through smaller packs, whole grains, local fruits, natural ingredients, and portable formats aimed at busy urban consumers.
