West Africa Mayonnaise Market to Grow with a CAGR of 6.16% through 2030

The West Africa mayonnaise market is driven by changing dietary preferences, increasing urbanization, growing demand for convenient foods, and rising influence of Western cuisine across major countries like Nigeria and Ghana

According to TechSci Research report, “West Africa Mayonnaise Market – By Country, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the West Africa Mayonnaise Market was valued at USD 53.72 million in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 76.68 million by 2030 with a CAGR of 6.16% during the forecast period. The West Africa mayonnaise market is undergoing notable transformation as consumer preferences shift toward convenient, flavorful, and Western-style condiments. Traditionally unfamiliar in many West African cuisines, mayonnaise has quickly gained popularity among urban consumers, particularly the youth, due to globalization, increased exposure to international cuisine, and a rising number of quick-service restaurants (QSRs) across the region. The market is supported by strong demand in key countries such as Nigeria and Ghana, where urbanization, population growth, and rising disposable incomes are fueling changes in dietary habits.

A primary driver of this growth is the changing lifestyle and food preferences of West African consumers. As urban centers expand and more people join the middle class, there is a growing appetite for quick, ready-to-eat foods and condiments that simplify meal preparation. Mayonnaise fits seamlessly into this shift, serving as a versatile ingredient for a range of modern and traditional fusion dishes. Busy work schedules and increased female workforce participation have further elevated the demand for convenient condiments. Whether used as a sandwich spread, salad dressing, or dip for fried snacks, mayonnaise is increasingly becoming a staple in West African kitchens.

Another major factor propelling market growth is the expansion of modern retail formats and foodservice channels. The presence of supermarkets, hypermarkets, and convenience stores has widened product availability and made it easier for consumers to discover and purchase mayonnaise. These organized retail outlets provide attractive shelf space, in-store promotions, and visibility for both local and international brands. Additionally, the growing presence of QSRs, fast-food chains, and local eateries that regularly incorporate mayonnaise into their menu items is expanding its use in out-of-home consumption. The popularity of meals such as burgers, shawarmas, club sandwiches, and coleslaws has made mayonnaise a commonly requested condiment across dining establishments.

Alongside these drivers, the market is being shaped by several key trends. One such trend is the increasing preference for flavored and spicy mayonnaise variants. West African consumers, known for their love of bold and spicy flavors, are increasingly gravitating toward mayonnaise infused with chili, garlic, herbs, and other regional seasonings. This flavor diversification not only enhances the taste experience but also allows manufacturers to differentiate their offerings and cater to local palates. These innovative variants have proven particularly appealing to younger consumers seeking variety in their meals, thereby reinforcing the dominance of flavored mayonnaise in the market.

Despite the market’s potential, there are several challenges limiting its full-scale growth. One of the most critical is the lack of reliable cold chain infrastructure and storage facilities. Mayonnaise requires refrigeration to maintain its quality and shelf life, but in many parts of West Africa, inconsistent electricity and limited cold storage capabilities pose major hurdles. This not only impacts product distribution and shelf stability but also discourages smaller retailers from stocking mayonnaise, particularly in remote areas. Inadequate cold transportation infrastructure also increases spoilage risks during transit, leading to higher costs and logistical complications for manufacturers and distributors.

“The emerging trend is the growing popularity of economical and single-serve packaging formats. Recognizing the price sensitivity of many consumers, especially in rural and peri-urban areas, manufacturers are increasingly offering mayonnaise in small sachets or pouches.
