SumsureIQ Quarterly TOP 10 FMCG BRAND/CATEGORY PERFORMANCE TRACKING INDEX – 13th Edition
SumsureIQ, the IQ Behind the data is equal to FMCG MARKET REASERCH across African Countries. Thus, SumsureIQ has the most complete view of the FMCG market and consumer behaviour in Ghana.
Consumers in Ghana spent between GHS 55.6 Billions (US$ 4.8 Billions) and GHS 67.3 Billions (US$ 5.9 Billions) on Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) from January to March 2026.
These figures are about 6.1% and 43.0% increases in GHS and in USD terms respectively compared to the same period in 2025.
Of this amount, Food accounted for 61% (an increase of 1% point compared to the same period in 2025), Non-Alcoholic Beverage, 14% (a drop of -1% point compared to 2025), Alcoholic Beverage, 14% (an increase of 2% point compared to the same period in 202%) and Non-Food, 11% (a drop of -2% point compared to 2025).
These figures would suggest that, spending on Food products as a proportion of the total FMCG spending has increased.
This may further suggest that cost of living pressures are sticky, though,
improving. The Food Sector represents the main driver of growth in the FMCG Market in Ghana.
Here are the TOP 10 most performing and popular brands consumers mostly selected at Point-of-Sale (POS) by in store Transaction numbers in Q1 2026 (January to March 2026).
- FOOD:
ONGA, MAGGI, IDEAL, REMIE, NIDO, INDOMIE, CARNATION, KIVO, SANKOFA and FRYTOL - NON-ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE:

The data also show that over 70 Manufacturers/Suppliers accounted for more than 75% of all the January to March 2026 FMCG consumer value sales in Ghana compared to over 40 in the same period in 2025.
This suggests a very competitive and growingmarket with several new entrants into the FMCG sector in a recovering economic landscape in Ghana. In general, SumsureIQ data may suggest that the Ghanaian economic landscape has improved and has become more competitive.
This is therefore, a sign of economic recovery and stability in Q1 2026. But there is caution due to the US/Isreal and Iran War as it may have some economic impacts.
