According to data from Maverick Research, which tracks over 15,000 products across 60 consumer categories nationwide, Ghana's fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector grew by 15% in value and 6% in volume in the first quarter of 2026.
The growth was driven by increased demand for household essentials, personal care items, and packaged foods, reflecting a recovery in consumer spending. The report highlights that urban areas led the expansion, with Accra and Kumasi showing the strongest sales increases.
Maverick Research noted that the sector's performance was supported by stable inflation and improved supply chains. However, the report cautioned that rising input costs could pose challenges for manufacturers in the coming quarters.
