2024 Mozambican Consumer Trends: Shopping Insights & Preferences

Explore Mozambican consumer trends for 2024 leveraging our Shopper panel insights. In early February 2024, we engaged members of our online panel in Mozambique to share the contents of their actual shopping baskets. Participants scanned items and provided photos of their purchases along with receipts (when buying from modern trade outlets like supermarkets).

From cooking ingredients, water, milk to household essentials (detergent, toothpaste), Mozambicans rely on a variety of products for their daily needs.
