Food and Beverage Retail Sales

In 2019, retail sales in Macau reached US $9.56 billion, among them US $613 million, or 6.3%, were goods in supermarkets. That represented a 7.3% growth compared with 2018. They are the modern grocery outlets that provide consumers with convenient and high-quality options.

In addition to groceries, these stores are offering a more comprehensive shopping experience with increased items of fresh food, bread and pastry, organic options, and hot takeout meals.

World-wide travel restrictions due to the coronavirus outbreak are slowing Macau’s economic growth and food demand. For the first quarter of 2020, Macau’s gaming revenue dropped by 60% year-on-year. For the first two months of 2020, Macau’s imports of consumer-oriented agricultural products reached $188.45 million, representing growth of 4% year-on-year.

Due to land constraints, Macau produces a minimal amount of its food requirements, depending on global sources to meet most of its needs. The vast majority of Macau’s imports were transshipped via Hong Kong as Macau lacks a deep-water port. Exporters rarely sell directly to Macau food retailers.
