Senegalese FMCG brands account for over half of typical consumer basket
This survey reveals the strength of the FMCG sector in Senegal. Indeed, we can see a clear preference for locally made products, following a similar consumption trend as in Cameroon. While food is mostly local, beauty and hygiene products are often imported, mainly from Côte d’Ivoire’s strong cosmetic industry. However, there are notable exceptions, as some products originate from China, such as Dontodent toothpaste and Fletcha tea.
