OILS AND FATS IN PAKISTAN


HEADLINES
 Oils and fats current value sales increase by 13% to reach PKR140 billion in 2015
 Increasing health consciousness drives sales of healthier oils and fats
 Olive oil leads growth in 2015, with current value sales rising by 15%
 Average current unit prices within oils and fats increase by 10% in 2015
 Dalda Foods continues to lead sales in 2015, recording a value share of 24%
 Oils and fats has a projected forecast period constant 2015 price value CAGR of 2%

TRENDS
 Pakistani food is usually prepared with a generous quantity of oils and fats, which are high in
fat content and less healthy. However, due to rising awareness and increasing health
consciousness, there has been a trend towards increasing usage of healthier oils and fats.
This is evident from the fact that companies have started to market their products with claims
of added healthy nutrients.
 Oils and fats current value sales increased by 13% in 2015 to reach PKR140 billion. This
growth rate was slower than that observed during the review period, primarily due to
increasing prices and rising consumer health consciousness. Price increases resulted in
consumers reducing consumption or switching to low priced products. Increasing awareness
of healthy products encouraged consumers to cut down on consumption of oils and fats as
they perceive it to be less healthy.
 Olive oil led growth in 2015, with current value sales rising by 15%, although sales within the
area remain limited. Most traditional dishes do not require olive oil as an ingredient. However,
due to the westernisation trend, more consumers are trying out Western dishes that often
require olive oil as a main ingredient. This awareness has also been fuelled by cooking shows
on TV, which teach viewers about new dishes and encourage them to try out new ingredients.
 Average current unit prices within oils and fats increased by 9% in 2015, mainly due to
inflation. Rising raw material prices resulted in higher production costs. Moreover, the energy
crisis put an extra burden on manufacturers, with increased manufacturing costs leading to
higher prices of oils and fats.
 Unpackaged oils and fats accounts for a major portion of oils and fats sales in the country.
Unpackaged sales are very high in rural areas as unpackaged products are much cheaper
than branded products. However, with increasing awareness and product penetration, many
consumers are shifting from these unpackaged products to packaged ones.
 Oils and fats continue to be bought mainly from traditional retailers. Traditional grocery
retailers like independent small grocers are located in each neighbourhood and offer
convenience to consumers. However, due to increasing urbanisation, the share of modern
retailers continues to grow as the number of supermarkets and hypermarkets continues to
increase.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
 Dalda Foods continued to lead sales in 2015, recording a value share of 24%, followed by
Wazir Ali Industries (14%) and Habib Oil Mills (15%). These companies offer high quality

products and have wide distribution networks which allow them to fulfil the needs of
consumers. Moreover, high marketing investment ensures that they continue to reaffirm their
presence in the market.
 There was no significant increase or decrease in company value shares in 2015.
Manufacturers continue to focus on strengthening their distribution networks and making their
products available in all outlets.
 Domestic companies continue to completely dominate oils and fats due to the fact they have
been present in the market for a long time and consumers place great trust in their products.
In addition, such companies have strong product portfolios, continue to fulfil the needs of their
customers, have established strong distribution networks and continue to market their
products heavily.
 Dalda Foods recently launched Dalda Sunflower Oil with lo-absorb technology. The product
claims to have a low fat content which is ideal for those looking to consume healthy oil.
 Dalda recently launched its Dalda Sunflower Oil with lo-absorb technology with an extensive
promotional campaign. The tagline used was “Eat lighter, live brighter”, with the campaign
featuring TV, radio and printed media advertising.
 Premium brands rely on their strong brand image and high quality products and also offer
innovative packaging in order to provide convenience to consumers. Economy brands rely on
their low price points to drive sales. These brands have strong distribution networks in rural
areas, which account for the majority of their sales.

PROSPECTS
 Due to ongoing westernisation, consumers are expected to become more health conscious
and will look to cut down on consumption of high fat food and consume healthier diets. This
will lead them to look for products with nutritional benefits. Companies will look to exploit this
by providing added nutrients in their products.
 Oils and fats’ projected forecast period constant 2015 price value CAGR of 2% is lower than
the review period CAGR. Growth is expected to slow down as prices continue to rise. High
prices will lead consumers to look for alternative cheaper products – a development which will
negatively impact growth.
 Average unit prices within oils and fats are expected to increase during the forecast period.
The ongoing energy crisis will impact production costs of manufacturers. Moreover, rising raw
material prices will also impact costs. Companies will be under added pressure and will try to
maintain their margins by increasing prices.
 Traditional retailers will continue to be the dominant sales channel for oils and fats due to their
presence in all neighbourhoods in the country. However, due to urbanisation and the
increasing number of supermarkets and hypermarkets, the sales share of modern retailers in
oils and fats will increase.
 Companies are expected to focus on the health aspects of their products by offering them
with added nutrients. In addition, companies will look to capitalise on rising consumer health
consciousness and continue to invest heavily in mass marketing in order to differentiate their
products and gain a competitive advantage. With new product launches, marketing will play a
huge role in driving sales within oils and fats.
 New product launches such as Dalda Sunflower Oil are expected to perform well over the
forecast period, with the latter product expected to prove popular amongst consumers due to
its low fat content. Increasing health awareness among consumers has fuelled demand for

such products and more companies are expected to follow Dalda’s lead and launch their own
versions of products with healthy nutritional value.
