The Philippine food retail sector continues to grow, providing opportunities for increased exports of U.S. high-value food and beverages. The food retail industry sold a record $47.4 billion in 2018, and Post forecasts sales in 2019 at nearly $50 billion. Driven by rising incomes, a growing population, and a strong preference for American brands, the Philippines imported $1.09 billion of U.S. consumer-oriented products in 2018. Post expects U.S. exports in this sector to grow further in 2019, reaching an all-time high of $1.2 billion.
