BMI: Middle EAst and Africa Food and Drink Insight (Dec-11)

2011-12-06 13:08:00 (читать в оригинале)

BMI?s food and drink team are rolling out a series of new and improved risk/reward ratings for all its regions. The new ratings, introduced here for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, are more growth orientated with a greater emphasis placed on which markets are going to provide the greatest opportunities, rather than which are the most developed in terms of per capita spending today.This approach is particularly important today given how well so many emerging markets are still doing and how much room forgrowth there is in the long term. Food and drink companies are increasingly looking outside the traditional blocks of emergingeconomies and putting more money into frontier markets, so pitting these markets against one another is a very useful exercise.At a basic level, food and drink companies are particularly interested in economies that are growing quickly (well reflected bythe per capita food consumption growth indicator), have large and young populations (which are why we have introduced the youth population indicator) and can provide a reasonably sound business environment. With regard to risk, which accounts for 40% of the overall score, we have made two key changes. We have introduced mass grocery retail (MGR) penetration and income distribution.MGR penetration is our main way of accessing how relatively developed the overall consumer sector is.The full risk/reward breakdown and new ratings structure is illustrated using the example of Saudi Arabia in the first table. The use of South Arabia, which is covered as a standalone quarterly report, allows us to benchmark the likes of Egypt and Qatar, which are economies that are going to provide hugely differing opportunitiesfor consumer focused companies.
