Find out in this post.

As 2025 approaches, the FMCG landscape in Africa is transforming under the dual influence of economic pressures and evolving consumer behaviour.

Impacted by these changes, consumers are not only being more mindful of how much they spend and what they prioritize, but they are also shopping differently. They believe the way to combat inflation is by embracing a selective mindset.

Inflation has led to more discerning spending habits, pushing brands to innovate in their offerings and strategies. But how can brands identify and align with key consumer expectations in this shifting market?

Here are some key ways to achieve this:

Understanding Core Consumer Expectations

Consumer expectations go beyond merely delivering a product or service; it’s about understanding their spoken desires and unspoken needs. 

If your customers value affordability and quality, they might not always say it outright, but they expect you to deliver both.

How then can you Identify key consumer expectations:

1. Ask Your Customers Directly

Use surveys/Feedback forms or social media to find out if you are meeting their expectations, and what they want or need. Recent consumer studies reveal that people value brands that deliver excellent customer service, offer high-quality products, and operate with transparent business policies.

2. Watch Market Trends

Pay attention to the latest market trends and what your competitors are doing.

3. Listen to Feedback
Engage with customers directly to understand their likes and dissatisfaction.

4. Adapt Your Brand
Adjust your products, services, or messaging to match what your customers care about most.

Offering Affordable Options that Match Local Preferences

With inflation affecting everyone’s spending habits, consumers are more careful about what they buy. We have seen more brands and retailers respond to this situation by offering affordable options, like smaller pack sizes or special promotions, to meet these needs — especially as many consumers are becoming more selective with their spending. 

For instance, sachets of most FMCG products like Food, beverages, personal care, and household items have become increasingly popular, as they give consumers the quality they expect without the higher price tag — a smart move for many FMCG brands.

Brands and retailers can also improve their performance by tailoring products to fit local and cultural preferences. Research reveals that businesses offering region-specific products often perform better than competitors. For instance, when products are designed to match the preferences and needs of specific regions, they tend to appeal more to a larger set of consumers.

Earning Trust Through Honesty and Connection

Trust is earned by doing exactly what you say. For FMCG brands, this means being consistent, honest, and customer-centric in every interaction. Transparency about sourcing, manufacturing processes, and pricing reassures consumers that a brand values their trust.

For example, if you promise affordable yet high-quality products, ensure your offerings meet these expectations without compromise. Similarly, engaging directly with consumers through social media or community initiatives demonstrates that you’re listening and care about their concerns.

In an era where consumer scrutinizes every product before purchase, brands that actively listen, adapt, and connect with their consumers will thrive. Offering affordable, locally inspired options isn’t just a tactical move; it’s a way to show that your brand understands and respects the struggles and aspirations of its audience.

At the end of the day, it’s not just about selling products—it’s about creating solutions that truly resonate.

At FMCGBUZZ Innovation we have over a decade of experience delivering insightful research on fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) products. While our core expertise is in the FMCG sector, we also take on projects beyond this scope, such as consumer app trials and usability studies.

Sachet packaging has rapidly become a dominant trend, with more brands adopting it to meet growing consumer demand. At FMCG Buzz Innovation, we are at the core of helping businesses capitalize on shifts by offering innovative packaging solutions that enhance product appeal, accessibility and boost market penetration.

FMCG Sachets products

Nigeria’s fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector has experienced a noticeable shift toward sachet packaging, changing the way people buy and use everyday products. While sachets have been around for a while, it’s now hard to find anything that doesn’t come in a sachet version.

Almost every product that once came in bulk, from beverages to detergents, now has a sachet option, making it more affordable and accessible to a wider range of consumers.

This packaging trend is more than just a convenience—it’s a response to the economic realities many Nigerians face, offering smaller, cheaper options that fit their day-to-day needs.

Sachets allow brands to make premium products available at lower price points, broadening their reach to low and middle-income consumers. These single-use packets are easy to carry and store, making them ideal for on-the-go use.

This convenience, paired with affordability, has led to widespread adoption across urban and rural areas alike. From beverages to personal care items, sachets cater to everyday consumer needs without requiring the financial commitment of bulk purchases.

A unique cultural phenomenon, known as Fenuja—meaning “use your mouth to cut it”—further illustrates the appeal of sachets. Fenuja has become synonymous with the practicality and ease of using sachets, especially among younger consumers.

This informal, quick-use nature aligns perfectly with the fast-paced lives of Nigeria’s youth, making sachets an indispensable part of daily consumption.

Despite their popularity, sachet production poses challenges for manufacturers. Creating smaller stock-keeping units (SKUs) requires innovative packaging solutions, and maintaining quality while keeping costs low remains difficult. Furthermore, the environmental impact of widespread sachet use has raised concerns over plastic waste.

As we look ahead, the sachet economy will continue to shape Nigeria’s FMCG landscape. However, manufacturers must balance consumer demand with sustainability efforts and operational efficiency to remain competitive in this fast-growing market.

Energy Drink Consumption

Nigeria ranks fourth globally when it comes to soft drink consumption. Pertaining to the consumption of energy drinks, a cross-sectional descriptive study conducted in Northern and south-south regions of Nigeria reported a lifetime prevalence rate of 55.4% and 87.8% for energy drink consumption.

Research studies indicate that energy drinks have a stimulating impact, with the strongest effects occurring within 30 to 60 minutes after consumption and lasting for at least 90 minutes. It’s worth noting that the effects of consuming energy drinks in terms of duration and intensity can vary among individuals due to factors such as body weight, metabolism, tolerance to caffeine, and overall sensitivity to stimulants. Additionally, the specific formulation and concentration of ingredients in different energy drinks can also influence the duration and strength of their effects.

This growing demand has led to the emergence of numerous beverage brands, each striving to attract consumers by offering unique flavor twists to gain competitive edge. Like the Zagg energy drink stands out by offering a malt-infused flavor and formulation, and Fearless Red Berry energy drink has a flavour for consumers who prefer to have a taste of fruit berry in their drink.  

Rockstar Energy Drink Launched in Nigeria

RockStar Energy Drink In Nigeria
Rockstar Energy Drink In Nigeria

In December 2022 Seven-Up Bottling Company (SBC), a major producer of non-alcoholic beverages, launched Rockstar Energy drink in Nigeria, adding another novel energy drink to their lineup, in addition to the Supa Komando Energy Drink launched in 2021.

Rockstar made a significant distribution change in 2009 by transitioning from the Coca-Cola Company to PepsiCo. This switch meant that PepsiCo took over the distribution responsibilities for Rockstar Energy Drink.

Fast forward to 2020, and PepsiCo further solidified its connection with Rockstar Energy by acquiring the brand. The acquisition came at a price of $3.85 billion, demonstrating PepsiCo’s commitment to expanding its presence in the energy drink market.

So, not only did Rockstar Energy Drink change distributors in 2009, but it also became a part of the PepsiCo family in 2020 through a substantial acquisition deal. These strategic moves have played a role in shaping the distribution and ownership landscape of the popular energy drink brand.

Rockstar Energy Drink Ingredients and Packaging

Rockstar Premium Energy Drink is similar to the 50cl PET bottle of Pepsi, except that it comes in a sleek black and shiny gold bottle. The 50cl PET Rockstar energy drink black bottle creates a sense of mystery and intrigue. This may suggest that the drink offers something unique and different from its competitors. It’s a departure from the conventional packaging norms, signaling that there might be something special inside.

Moreover, the black bottle may also have functional benefits. It helps protect the drink from light exposure, which can degrade certain ingredients and affect the taste. The opaque nature of the bottle prevents light from entering and potentially altering the quality of the product.

Rockstar Energy Drink Composition

This drink contains caffeine, vitamin B, taurine, vitamin C, ginseng, and other ingredients, it is not to be consumed by children, pregnant women, or individuals with caffeine sensitivity. Additionally, the manufacturer advises a maximum daily intake of two bottles.

Rockstar Energy Drink 50cl PET bottle is yet to be widely distributed in most retail outlets in Nigeria. However, it may be available in selected supermarkets and shopping malls.

The origin of Darjeeling Tea may ignite curiosity in many individuals. Darjeeling tea, a type of black tea, is grown in the Darjeeling district of West Bengal, India. It differs from other Indian black teas like Assam because it is produced from a distinct variety of tea plants.

While most Indian teas are derived from Camellia sinensis var. assamica, Darjeeling tea is made from the Chinese cultivar called Camellia sinensis var. sinensis. This particular tea plant has smaller leaves and a stronger fragrance. 

Is Cway Darjeeling Ice Tea Good For You?

At first, glance it was assumed as a new flavor.

Chivita Active Power Of 6 Citrus Mix has recently caught consumers’ attention with its new look. Upon initial observation, one might mistake it for a new flavor. However, upon closer look, it becomes apparent that the packaging is quite different from the previous one, although the overall branding still remains unchanged.

Chivita Active Juice is a brand of fruit juice in Nigeria, known for its focus on promoting an active and healthy lifestyle. It is a product of the Coca-Cola family and manufactured by Chi Limited.

The company has achieved this reputation by consistently introducing innovative products that meet the needs of their consumers. Chivita Active Juice offers a selection of in 6 Citrus Mixed Fruit Juice and Carrot + Orange variants; and in 1ltr, 315ml packs, and 330ml cans.

Here is a Review of the 1L Chivita Active Citrus Mix Fruit Juice Based on Its Flavour, Quality, Packaging, and overall Appeal.

Chivita Active Citrus Mix New look

Its Flavour: Chivita Active Fruit Juice offers a natural and satisfying smooth taste that is enjoyed by many consumers. The fruit blends provide a balance of natural fruit flavours to create unique tastes.

Quality of Ingredients: The manufacturer claims that the fruit juice is made from natural fruits with no added sugar, artificial colors, or preservatives. At the same time, Chivita Fruit Juices go beyond being a satisfying refreshing juice for the body.

Chivita Active Juice contains the required vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy option for those looking for a healthy beverage.

Packaging: It comes in attractive packaging. The cartons are designed to be visually appealing, with colorful graphics that showcase the fruits used in each flavour. The packaging is quite convenient, allowing for easy handling and pouring.

It is worth mentioning that Chivita Active Juice is available in different sizes, catering to the needs of both individuals and families serving various occasions.

Minor Flaw: However, some customers have mentioned a minor flaw with the Chivita Active Juice packaging. The cap on the juice, once opened, cannot be resealed to close the juice pack when one cannot consume it all at once This becomes a concern because the manufacturer doesn’t use an additional seal after the cap.

In the case where the cap is broken prior to the purchase, the juice is then exposed, which may affect its quality or make it unsafe to consume. Though the overall packaging looks good, but the opening of the cap can be improved to make the juice less vulnerable to outside factors.

In conclusion, Chivita Active Juice in Nigeria is highly regarded for its unique taste, quality ingredients, and appealing packaging. If you’re looking for a healthy and nutritious fruit juice option, Chivita Active Juice is definitely worth considering.

Usability testing best practices

Usability testing is a process of taking note of how users interact with a product or service to detect issues and make improvements before launching the product.

This can be compared to when someone who might buy a car takes it for a test drive to see how well it works, how comfortable it is, and if one can use it easily. Evaluating a product’s ease of use, satisfaction of the intended user, and efficiency is fundamental. 

A business that neglects the testing and evaluation phase of product development is more likely to launch a product or service that does not meet the needs of its intended users.

This can lead to low adoption rates, dissatisfaction among users, and eventually, lower sales and revenue. In this article, Our focus will be on exploring the top strategies and best practices for effectively conducting usability testing:

Outline the goals and objectives of conducting usability testing

Establishing goals and objectives is essential for obtaining meaningful results from usability testing. For instance, if you want to assess user preferences for a product or compare it with competitors, you can tailor your testing to concentrate on specific areas of what you hope to accomplish. 

Identify the individuals or groups that you are targeting and choose the right audience

Not everyone is your audience which is why it is important to identify who your audiences are and what they require from your offering.

Choosing the right audience involves identifying the features and demographics of the users who will be using the product or service, as this is essential to ensure that the test results are accurate and representative of the target users.

Selecting the right metrics

In selecting the right metrics the evaluation should align with the goal and objective of the testing, as this will provide insights into user behavior and experiences. For instance, metrics like user satisfaction, dislike, and task completion time. 

Perform a Pilot Test

This helps to identify and fix any potential problems or issues before the actual usability test begins. this way you can identify any problem that may stop participants from completing the task. 

Conduct the Actual test

Now is the time to take action, as It is important to keep the test environment neutral to enable the participants to feel comfortable.

In gathering data, you can make use of various techniques to monitor the overall testing process, such as the use of eye tracking device and screen recording software. 

Analyze the outcome of the test

Since the goal is to identify issues and get candid feedback from participants. You carefully need to evaluate the test results before implementing changes.

It is crucial to provide comprehensive details of the report so that if any member of your team needs to repeat the test, they will have all the necessary information readily available.

Conclusion

Usability testing plays a significant role in all stages of product development. To ensure a successful usability test adhering to these recommendations and best practices will enable you to develop a more effective and user-friendly product.

A Comprehensive Review of Viva Plus Detergent Powder

Viva Plus Detergent Powder is rapidly gaining popularity in the Nigerian market. However, when it comes to achieving clean and delightful-scented clothes that are gentle on the skin, the right detergent soap can make all the difference.

In view of the numerous options available in the detergent market in Nigeria, choosing the right one can be overwhelming.

Despite being controlled by a handful of major brand manufacturers, such as PZ Cussons, Procter & Gamble, Unilever, Henkel, Ariel, and Lion, the home and laundry care products market still has moderate growth rates. 

The laundry care industry in Nigeria experienced a significant increase in current value growth, the growth in constant value was minimal and volume growth was subdued.

This is as a result of the constant inflation, which has affected the financial strength of consumers and the reasons behind this inflation can be traced back to the Nigerian oil industry.

However, the industry did not reap the full benefits of higher global oil prices in 2022 due to low output caused by infrastructure deficiencies. Additionally, the economy was negatively affected by the high prices of gas and food on the global market. 

Review on Viva Plus Detergent Powder

In this article, we will take a closer look at one such detergent soap that promises to deliver on all fronts – Viva plus detergent powder. With its advanced formula and innovative composition, Viva detergent powder has gained popularity for being one of the most effective laundry detergents in the Nigerian market. 

Viva Detergent Powder

Viva Plus detergent powder is manufactured by Aspira Nigeria Limited, a top producer of household products in Nigeria. The company is committed to building customer loyalty by providing quality products that cater to the needs of their customers in Nigeria. However, the manufacturer understands that customer satisfaction is the key to achieving this goal.

The manufacturer of Viva Plus Detergent Powder claims that it offers a multitude of benefits for laundry needs. In addition to effectively cleansing clothes, Viva plus detergent powder also helps protect colour and brighten white clothes. Furthermore, this detergent is infused with a freshness of petals fragrance that provides a long-lasting effect on clothes.

Viva Plus detergent is available in various sizes to cater for different consumer needs. The product comes in the following package sizes: 162 x 22 gm, 50 x 85 gm, 26 x 180 gm, 13 x 350 gm, and 7 x 900 gm. Depending on your specific need if you require a smaller size for travels or a larger package for your family’s laundry needs, Viva Plus detergent has got you covered.

Users Feedback

As a market research agency, we evaluated Viva Plus Detergent powder, providing an unbiased review. Our team of experts conducted a comprehensive review of the product to determine the effectiveness and quality of the detergent, and here is what we found. 

Cleaning Ability

Viva Plus Detergent Powder is an effective cleaning agent that removes stains and grime from clothes. We found that in the test even stubborn stains were effectively removed, leaving clothes looking clean.

Colour Protection

Although Viva Plus Detergent Powder showed it promise in protecting the color of clothes, we did notice some fading after multiple washes.

When using this detergent, it is advisable to separate your clothes by colours to avoid colour transfer and bleaching onto other clothes.

Whitening Power

Viva Plus Detergent also does a great job when it comes to whitening, especially white clothes. Our tests showed that white clothes were brighter and whiter after each wash.

Fragrance

This product has a mild fragrance that leaves clothes smelling good and clean.

Lather Test

When it comes to producing lather while washing, viva plus detergent does not produce as much lather, particularly with heavily stained clothes.

However, some detergents are formulated to generate less foam while cleaning. This is because the foam can trap dirt and prevent it from being washed away, and it can also make it harder for water to penetrate the fabric and reach the dirt.

Conclusion

We found Viva plus detergent powder to be harsh when used to wash, as it caused a burning sensation and irritation, which made the skin so sore that it took days to heal.

Based on this experience, we would not recommend anyone with sensitive skin to use this detergent. Overall, Viva Plus Detergent Powder cleans and maintains the quality of clothes.

Nigerian Snacks Industry

Despite a weak economy and low consumer spending power, snacks were projected to perform well in 2022, with retail volume growth expected across various categories. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic caused an economic recession which led to the depreciation of the local currency, affecting many types of snacks.

This has resulted in higher importation costs, which is creating more space for local companies to operate. With the higher costs associated with importing, consumers are experiencing increased prices for imported brands.

This trend is creating a favourable environment for local companies to expand their reach and gain a larger market share. The snacks industry in Nigeria has proven its ability to overcome a multitude of challenges in recent times, such as navigating through the pandemic and dealing with inflation.

As we look towards the present year of 2023, we can anticipate that the industry will face even more challenges. However, with these challenges come opportunities for positive growth and evolution within the industry.

Snacking has become a regular part of our daily routine due to its convenience, affordability, and need to quickly satisfy hunger. Although snacking has both its benefits and drawbacks. While snacking can provide a quick boost of energy and help manage hunger, it can also lead to overeating and unhealthy eating habits if not consumed in moderation.

Overall, snacks are an important part of our diet and should be chosen wisely. By making healthier snack choices and snacking in moderation, we can enjoy the benefits of snacking while maintaining a healthy and good lifestyle.

Product Review on Kaira Milk Bites Biscuit

In this article, we’ll be reviewing Kaira milk bite biscuit, its taste, quality, and not only that but also review its packaging, nutritional information, and content. As well as how it fits into a healthy diet. Join us as we satisfy our cravings and discover what makes this snack a must-try for any snack lover out there.

Introducing a leading snack in Nigeria that has been gaining popularity – “Kaira Milk Bites”. Kaira milk bites biscuit is produced by the Monsoon Food Company here in Nigeria.

We are uncertain whether this brand has any other product offerings apart from milk bite biscuits due to their low brand recognition. Although this particular brand appears to have a relatively low profile, the recent launch of the innovative Kiara milk biscuit strikes a chord with its target audience and resonates strongly with consumers who have shown a significant level of interest in the product. It will be interesting to see how Kaira Milk Bites will continue to set itself apart in the Nigerian snack market.

Kaira Milk Bite Competitive Landscape and Packaging

In the case of biscuits, it’s a highly competitive market with many established players vying for consumers’ attention and loyalty. How do such brands plan to stay competitive and relevant in the market? We are eager to know more about this brand and its upcoming offerings.

Interestingly, at first glance, the cut size of these snacks looks just like chin-chin. Chuckling at the thought that the package had been mislabeled. But upon closer look, they were actually milk biscuits! Despite this, little deception, the overall packaging is quite impressive. The bold text and eye-catching colours make it stand out on the shelf, and I could see why it was so popular among snack enthusiasts.

The 60 grams sachet Kaira milk bites is a biscuit that has a rectangular shape with a vertical orientation. Based on the nutritional information on the packaging, each serving of the Kaira Milk Bites biscuits contains 1.3 grams of sugar, 1.9 grams of fiber, 7.61 grams of protein, and 9.1 grams of fat, and provides a significant number of calories. In fact, a single sachet of this milk biscuit supplies 470 kilo calories.

While this biscuit is high in carbohydrates, it is relatively low in fat and oil, particularly saturated fats, and also contain other important nutrients according to the manufacturer. After conducting a thorough taste test, we found that the biscuit was lacking in texture. The crumbly consistency left a lot to be desired, and unappetizing.

Additionally, the packaging was difficult to open and the biscuits were quite small, which left our testers feeling unsatisfied. Kaira Milk Bite biscuits are easily available in supermarkets and biscuit stores. However, they do not seem to be available in popular e-commerce stores in Nigeria yet.

Rise in Energy Drink Consumption in Nigeria

Consumers are increasingly drawn to beverages that offer more than just hydration, and the beverage industry is taking notice. Among the variety of drinks currently capturing consumers’ attention, energy drinks are enjoying considerable popularity. Studies indicate that the global market for energy drinks is projected to expand at a rate of approximately 8% annually until 2030, driven by demand for beverages that promote wellness, enhance vitality, and boost cognitive performance.

Companies anticipate sustained interest in energy drinks, with projections suggesting that the market could reach nearly $100 billion by 2032. Younger consumers, particularly those in the millennial cohort, constitute a significant portion of energy drink enthusiasts, with almost half of all energy drink consumers belonging to this demographic. Future projections indicate that energy drinks are poised to perform even better in terms of sales volume than in the previous period.

The economic and legal challenges that energy drink sales may encounter could have an impact on consumer demand. One such challenge is the increase in inflation rates, which, if coupled with a continued depreciation of the local currency, could raise the cost of energy drinks for consumers. Additionally, if there is a decline in disposable income, some consumers may face difficulties affording energy drinks. Moreover, the sales of energy drinks could be impacted by regulatory bodies such as NAFDAC, which may require health warnings to be included on the packaging.

Zagg Energy Drink Product Review

Today, we will be reviewing Zagg, a typical energy drink in the Nigeria Market. Despite the intense competition in Nigeria’s beverage industry, this brand has maintained its standing and market share by providing top-notch products and keeping customers loyal. In this review, we will focus on Nigeria Breweries, a rapidly expanding brand.

Nigerian Breweries Limited’s core business activities involve brewing, marketing, and sales of various beverages, including lager, stout, non-alcoholic malt drinks, and soft drinks. Recently, on November 5th, 2022, the company launched Zagg, an energy drink aimed at providing consumers with a unique and malt-infused experience. Zagg promises to be a game-changer in the energy drink market, and we are excited to see how it competes with other energy drink brands. Nigerian Breweries Limited has set a new benchmark with the introduction of Zagg, and we are eager to explore its flavor profile and energizing effects.

Zagg was specifically made with the aim of meeting the energy needs of the average Nigerian consumer’s daily activities. In addition to its energy-boosting properties, the drink boasts a unique and refreshing taste, thanks to the addition of malt. In light of the highly competitive beverage industry, Zagg’s unique selling proposition could give it an advantage over its rivals, as consumers continue seeking innovative and natural options.

Zagg Energy Drink Composition

At first glance, the packaging resembles that of a cola soda bottle, but upon closer look, it becomes clear that it is an energy drink. The brand name is prominently displayed and is often accompanied by vibrant colours that convey a sense of dynamism and impact. According to the manufacturer, Zagg is a non-alcoholic energy drink that contains a blend of Vitamins B3, B5, B6, and B12, zero grams of fat, caffeine, ginseng, malted barley, and other ingredients.

Unlike most other energy drinks on the market, Zagg is malt-infused, which provides a unique flavor and formulation for those seeking a distinctive taste experience. For consumers who desire an unconventional energy drink with a novel twist, a malt-infused option such as Zagg may be a compelling alternative to more typical options.

As with any food or beverage product, taste preferences can vary among consumers, and while some may appreciate the unique flavor of Zagg, others may not find it as appealing and may prefer other energy drink options. To consume energy drinks like Zagg safely, It is advisable to avoid consuming these drinks at extreme temperatures. Zagg, a recent addition to the malt-infused energy drink market, can be enjoyed at an optimal temperature that is neither too hot nor too cold. Zagg, the newest malt-infused energy drink from Nigerian Breweries, has recently hit the market, and we would love to hear your feedback!
