Some of the key trends driving the market include rising disposable income of consumers, growing urbanization, expansion of modern retail channels, and increasing internet penetration. Improving economic conditions in the country and growing focus of government on rural development are further expected to boost consumer spending on various goods in the upcoming years. However, geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties may remain challenging for the market. Overall, increasing spending power and changing lifestyles of Armenian consumers are expected to support the continued growth of the consumer goods sector during the forecast period.

Growing population

The population of Armenia has been experiencing steady growth over the past decade. Data from the national statistical service in 20221, shows that the resident population increased from around 2.9 million in 2008 to estimates of around 3 million currently. This trend of population growth is projected to continue going forward as birth rates remain stable and life expectancy increases. A growing population means there are more consumers in the market each year, thereby expanding the potential customer base for consumer goods. Many products see increased demand simply due to the fact that there are more people who need items like food, clothing, household supplies and other daily necessities. For consumer-packaged goods companies, a growing population translates directly into opportunities for higher sales and revenue if they can attract these new consumers to their brands. However, it also brings pressures to ensure adequate supply levels to meet the needs of the larger population. Consumer goods manufacturers will need to ramp up production capacities or consider expanding their distribution networks to remote areas to tap into demand from rural populations. A growing number of citizens also has implications for future income levels and standards of living in the country. A larger working population could help boost economic growth and wage levels over the long run. This would further stimulate consumer spending power.

Rising disposable income

Alongside population growth, another positive factor for the Armenia consumer goods market has been steady increases in household disposable income levels in recent times. Economic indicators show that GDP per capita has been growing year-on-year, driven by low inflation and strong performance from sectors such as agriculture, mining, and tourism. Wage growth in both public and private employment has generally outpaced inflation, leaving consumers with more spending power in real terms. Income gains have been particularly pronounced for younger generations entering the workforce as well as dual income families. Higher income allows households to spend more on non-essential and branded consumer items that provide better quality or experience compared to basic necessities. It provides opportunity for consumer companies to promote premium and value-added products targeting these higher income demographic segments. Rising affluence also leads to evolving consumption patterns like increasing expenditure on recreation, personal care, baby products, and pet care. This diversification in spending moves demand beyond commoditized essentials into newer categories offering potential for innovators. However, consumer goods companies will have to ensure price points on new launches remain accessible to mainstream buyers. Overall, a more prosperous middle class bodes well for current and future demand expansion across a variety of consumer markets in Armenia.
