Sales of refrigeration appliances were strongly boosted by two major factors at the end of the review period. Firstly, strong economic growth resulted in a marked rise in disposable income levels. Economic growth and a desire to diversify the economy in order to reduce reliance on oil industries meanwhile encouraged the government to tackle the country's housing shortage. There was thus a marked rise in residential construction during the review period, with thousands of new firms entering this area. As the number of homes increased, the potential sales base for refrigeration appliances also expanded.

Interest in packaged biscuits increased over the review period, which can be attributed to the increasing pace of life and demand for convenient storage and consumption. Russians nowadays have higher expectations of foodstuff packaging and biscuits is no exception. In addition, the activity of manufacturers and packaging players, together with the growing interest in branded products, resulted in a higher number of packaged biscuits being available. The branding of traditional products, such as savoury and plain sweet biscuits, has become crucial in line with ever more competition. Unusual flavours and fillings became more important to Russians along with the gradual saturation of the category, while manufacturers' desire to appeal to health-conscious consumers increased the usage of natural ingredients.

Canned/preserved food continues to consist of traditional products that are consumed more during periods of economic stagnation, with low unit prices making such products popular among price-conscious consumers. However, the category is caught between a rock and a hard place in 2013. Firstly, it is still being cannibalised by categories that enjoy a fresher, healthier and more convenient image, such as chilled processed food and even frozen processed food. Secondly, the horsemeat scandalhas dealt a fatal blow to canned/preserved ready meals and meat and meat products, two categories which were already suffering from declining sales. Lastly, consumers are having difficulties differentiating between private label products and branded products in terms of quality.

In 2013, total volume sales of carbonates increased strongly, rising by 7%. This represented a notable improvement compared to the previous year's growth of 1%, as the category recovered from the strong negative impact of the security crisis in the north of the country, which affected distribution, as well as the fuel price hike of January 2012. It has thus returned to the pre-2012 growth performance, largely due to creative marketing by manufacturers whose introduction of new pack types such as PET bottles helped to revitalise demand. Furthermore, producers of carbonates seem to have acknowledged the threat posed by other soft drinks, such as "nutritious" flavoured milk drinks and juice, and thus are innovating in a bid to offer interesting new juice-based products. This explains the strong performance of the apple-based La Casera brand from The La Casera Co Ltd, for example. These factors aside, carbonates generally performs positively in Nigeria, in line with population growth, given that the hot weather leads to demand for cold, sweet drinks, particularly in roadside vendors and other away-from-home channels.
