The Argentine Consumer Goods industry is the largest in the region after Brazil and Mexico. Yet, the high levels of inflation and the weak economic growth that thecountry experiences since the consumer spending boom halted in 2012 has nothelped the industry develop. Furthermore, Cambiemos’ economic policy making has not helped reactivate the sector and combined with a local-currency depreciation, the retail market in 2016 is smaller than it was in 2012 in US-dollar terms.
The Economist Intelligence Unit forecasts that retail sales will rise sharply in nominal, local-currency terms to US$130bn by 2020, but this will mostly be explained by high levels of inflation pushing up prices. Instead, the real retail sales growth will average 2.20% in 2016-20 in US-dollar terms, as consumer confidence improves and inflation subsides.

The market for non-perishable food in Argentina is significant. Argentines eat an average of 9,1 kilograms of pasta per year, and remain as the sixth nation that consumes more dry pasta in the world according to the International Pasta Organization. It is also estimated that each Argentine national eats an average of 10 kilograms of rice per year. Hence, the focus of the Non-Perishable subsector will focus on its biggest segment: Rice, Pasta and noodles.In 2016, Euromonitor Intelligence estimated that the market for rice, pasta and noodles grew 4% in retail volume terms and 24% in current value growth, thus reaching a value of ARS17,100 million. Companies have reinvented the consumption of dried pasta to boost consumption, while rice registers the highest growth of 7% in retail volume terms in 2016. However, the high levels of inflation have made the average unit price of the standard unit in the industry rise by 19%.

The ready meals market in Argentina is considered by many as an under-developed niche. According to Nielsen Consulting, the market revenues reaches AR$1200 million and has a potential grow significantly, as the argentina per capita average consumption is of 1,6 kilograms, 60% less than Chile’s and Brazil's per capita demand for the products in the segment.Yet, in 2016 the ready meals market declined by 8% in retail volume terms but increased by 34% in current value terms to reach ARS986 million. Dried ready meals registers the worst performance with a fall of 10% in retail volume terms in 2016. The rationale behind lower levels of consumption for these product-types is that homemade meals have been substituting ready meals as a result of the economic crisis.

Molinos Río de la Plata is the leading firm in the Ready Meals food subsector as its portfolio companies account for approximately 46% of the market.
Other competitors that fall behind the market leader are McCain (16%), Unilever (12%) and Buenos Aires Food (7%).
In the past years Molinos Río de la Plata increased its retail value share in ready meals by 15 percentage points. This excellent performance was down to the repositioning of its brand Gallo in dried ready meals, which pushed the Knorrbrand from Unilever into second place.

In the past years, wheat flour production dropped due to draught conditions suffered during the 2013 harvest, which caused an exorbitant price hike of more than 30% in artisanal/unpackaged bread. Consequently consumers switched to lower-priced bakery products, in which biscuits was the main beneficiary.Artisanal bread is an important element of the Argentinean consumer’s food basket, which over the last years has been left behind due to the trend towards healthy, natural food.
Highly Concentrated Industry:
• Grupo Bimbo is the leading firm in this sub-industry with a significant foothold on the market as it is estimated that its portfolio brands account for approximately 80% of the market.
• The 25% left of the market can be traced back to national bakeries and 2nd brand products.

In Argentina, the financial services industry -under the category “financial intermediation and other services” – accounted for 3,8% of GDP in 2015, according to the Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos (INDEC). Currently, the industry employs about 164,000 workers, or 2,5% of the registered labour force, in line with the Ministry of Labour.There is scope for substantial growth in banking in the country in the medium term given a population of just over 43M, high per-head incomes (by comparison with much of the rest of Latin America) and very low level of private-sector credit as a percentage of GDP.

Financial ServicesIndustry Overview
A programme of policy adjustment is ongoing and will reduce economic distortions. However, up to now, banks are still affected by a weak economy and high nominal interest rates. Credit remains low as a percentage of GDP, at an estimated 13% over GDP in 2015.Growth in credit to private sector remains high in nominal terms, and negative in real terms due to high inflation registered in October 2016. Personal lending had also rapid growth (44% year to year) from Ahora 12, an Interest-free 12-month credit plan announced in 2015. Currently revamped into Ahora 18 in order to boost consumption.
Argentinians are modest users of bank accounts. Around 50% of the adult population had an individual or shared account at a formal financial institution in 2014, according to the World Bank.Even though 19% of those surveyed, reported that they had borrowed money, just 8% received loans from financial institution while another 6% had borrowed from family. In the same way though 23% of respondents said that they had saved money, only 4% did so at a financial institution.

The insurance market is still small and remains highly fragmented. There were 186 insurance companies in service by the end of 2016. The high levels of GPD per head in the past decade have improved penetration of insurance services in the local market.There has been rapid growth in premiums in recent years, according to the Superinendencia de Seguros de la Nación (SSN): premiums rose to AR$211.000M in June 2016, representing year-on-year growth of 38%. As share of GDP, premiums represent around 3%, which is well below the OECD average of 8% of GDP and suggests significant scope for catch-up with mature markets.

Argentina’s fund-management industry was busted by the 2001-2002 crisis, and afterwards, in 2008, by the time the government nationalized the system of private pension funds.The Argentinian mutual-fund segment is smaller than the now-extinct pension-fund market: around U$S17Bn under management - much less than in other Latin American countries. Only around 150k Argentines (over a 43-million population) invest in mutual funds, compared with 20M investors in Brazil. Most investments are in money-market and bond funds, with only a short percentage of assets dedicated to shares.

Argentina is one of the leading countries in the commercialization of soybeans, wheat and meat. In addition to that, Argentina is also an important producer of wool and wine. Nevertheless, the major part of wine consumption is done domestically.- In Argentina, 20.3 million of hectares are devoted to the production of soybeans.
The states where the majority of the this commodity is grown the regions of Buenos Aires, Cordoba and santa Fe.
- Sugarcane and citrus plantations are also largely present in Argentina. Indeed, the citrus were generally introduced as a protection against the instability of the sugar market. The Jujuy and Salta provinces are largely used to the growth tobacco. Moreover, The west of the Paraña River is mainly utilized to cultivate cotton.
- Livestock are traditionally reared in the Pampas province, it is the most renowned and valuable commodities in Argentina. Indeed, the local producers have been able to adapt quickly and accurately to the riskiness of the market. They switched between breeds when one has a better yield and change their way of feeding their production by substituting the Alfalfa feed with sorghum grain to have a better meat.
- Additionally, Corrientes and Entre Ríos are also know for their cattle raising production following those of the pampas. The Criollo cattle is manly reared in the Chaco province. Finally, the majority of the sheep are produced in Patagonia, the south region of Argentina.

Telecommunications:Although Argentina’s telecommunications infrastructure is generally developed, opportunities to increase coverage and speed remain:• Argentina has nationwide broadband access but internet speeds are 15% lower
than those of regional peers.• Argentina’s mobile phone penetration is high (141%) but coverage is not
uniform across the country and is often poor due to insufficient cell tower coverage.
The government has made cell and internet access expansion development a priority which is opening a number of opportunities for private investmentMedia:Argentina in one of the leaders in the South America media market, under favorable legislation, the industry has consolidated and a large number of companies have appeared.Technology:• The software and IT services sector in Argentina is made of 3,800 firms, ranging
from globally consolidated multinationals to a growing network of highly innovative small and medium-sized local enterprises. Argentine companies’ global projection in this sector is expanding as one quarter of its production is exported to international markets.
• As Latin America is becoming one of the most attractive E-commerce acceptance market around the world, the E-commerce sector in Argentina is growing rapidly and the country is expected to become a regional leader in this area.

Telecommunications, Media & TechnologyIndustries Overview
• The expansion of Argentina’s cell coverage presents a USD 2 billion investment opportunity.
• There are three top players in the mobile telephony segment—Claro (owned by Mexico's América Movil), Telecom Personal (a subsidiary of Telecom Argentina), and Movistar (owned by Spain's Telefónica). Each operator holds about one-third of market share.
• Telecoms investment are expected to grow at an average rate of 12.9% a year during the five-year forecast period, to reach AR$ 64.7 billion (or US$ 2.8bn) by 2021.
• Mobile revenue growth will also be supported by strong growth of the smartphone market in Argentina. In 2016, only 37% of the population owns a smartphone – considerably low against the region.
• In Argentina there are approximately 15,000 active cell sites (mobile towers), this number is meant to double in order to ensure an acceptable quality of service. The Government will facilitate this development.
• There is ample room for Neutral Infrastructure Operators (tower builders/operators) to enter this market as neutral operators own 62% of cell sites worldwide vs. 0% in Argentina.
• Growth in mobile telephony will be led by data transmission and mobile broadband. Substantial investments have been undertaken by telecoms companies to allow them to develop their value-added services, including mobile data, and, ultimately, increase average revenue per user.

• Telefónica de Argentina (a subsidiary of Spain's Telefónica) and Telecom Argentina remain the two dominant forces in the fixed-line market, together accounting for about 90% of total fixed lines. The remaining 10% is divided between co-operatives and incoming operators.
• Elsewhere in Latin America the development of triple-play and quadruple-play services has helped to support take-up of fixed-line telephony to some extent. This has not been the case in Argentina, where persistent disputes between the government and Grupo Clarín, the country's dominant media conglomerate, have prevented progress in this area. However, the more business-friendly government in office is expected to allow progress to be made on this subject.
• Despite these changes, new investment will be required to improve bandwidth in order for the triple-play and quadruple-play markets to grow significantly.

• The expansion of Argentina’s fiber optic network over the next 2 years presents a US$ 307 M investment opportunity:
• US$ 240 M in fiber optic deployment• US$ 67 M in fiber optic enabling equipment
• The expansion of the fiber optic network aims to connect 1.2K small towns across the country and to ensure access to quality broadband for a further 29 million Argentines within two years, lowering the cost of internet access.
• The current fiber optic network covers more than 32,000 km but only 30% of the fiber is active.
• The Federal Internet Plan network will use ARSAT’s fiber optic network as a provider of data transport services at whole sale level and provide access to local internet service providers, cooperatives, municipalities and SMEs.
• There is much scope for catch-up in internet penetration and the expansion of fibre-optic broadband in the five years forecast period, given that prices continue to fall as new services for both businesses and consumers develop, and as take-up of mobile broadband technology increases.
• Even though Argentina is the regional leader in terms of fixed broadband penetration rates, the country lags behind in terms of internet connection speeds.

Industry Highlights
Argentina has an immense capacity for energy production; from large shale oil and gas resources, to unique favorable winds, and everything in-between. Argentina's energy sector is characterized by the extraction and production of energy from coal, oil and gas, electricity, biofuels, nuclear, and alternative renewable energy sources. In the past, the energy supply has been constrained by ongoing tariffs and energy subsidies. The country’s past of economic crisis and recurring devaluation periods, combined with the nationalization of the country's largest oil and gas producer, YPF, in 2012, has resulted in a lack of interest from investors in Argentina's energy potential. However, the new Administration, is determined to liberalize tariffs and boost investment in the sector. Although the long term goal is to eliminate price distortions, Macri’s Administration wants to maintain prices high to stimulate investment in the medium term.

Subsectors Activity
Oil & Gas
Regarding oil & gas, the value chain is composed of; upstream activities, meaning the exploration, extraction and production, midstream activities, which include transportation, storage and wholesale marketing, and lastly, downstream activities, which include the refining of petroleum crude oil, processing and purifying of raw natural gas, as well as the commercialization and marketing of these.
ElectroThe electricity subsector is the divided between Generation, Transmission and Distribution of power. The consumption is then divided between Residential, 40%, Industrial, 30%, and Commercial, 25%.
Renewable Energy
Energy is considered renewable when it is collected from sources that are sustainable and most importantly, that they are non-depletable, and thus, replenished naturally within short period of times. A few of the resources used to generate power that are considered renewable are sunlight, wind, rain, currents, and geothermal heat.
Mining
Mining is the process of first prospecting for the possible presences of ores underground, then extracting large amounts of ores in rock, deep underground, dressing the ore, and finally, smelting the ore. Mining opportunities in Argentina include Lithium, Boron, Silver, Gold, Copper, Lead, Uranium, Nickel, Potash and Zinc.

Oil & GasSubsector Outlook
Country Outlook Recent Activity
Electro Argentina is the third largest power market in its region, after Brazil and Venezuela. Tariff freezes and high regulation have constrained investment in power generation. Tariffs have begun to rise and will continue to until the producers adjust to subsidy cuts. Nationwide projects to expand the capacity and increase the reach of the national electricity grid are needed.
The current administration declared an energy emergency state, starting from December 2015 up until the end of 2017 in order to abolish conservation policies and avoid further power outages in Buenos Aires. The country expects to add 10 GW of gross capacity sourced from renewable energy and an additional 8 GW of capacity from thermal heat generation by 2025.The first round of tenders was of 1.5 Bn in projects and was held in September 2016. The second round will be announced simultaneously with the first Round’s winners.
Nuclear Argentina operates 3 nuclear energy plants that contribute to 5% of the total energy production.
Argentina is the first country in south America to construct a nuclear energy plant. Currently building two additional plants.
Industry Highlights
Opportunity Background
Argentina constantly deals with power outages and inefficiencies. The country's power generation base is too expensive, due to the historical lack of competition. The country is ambitious to make sure that there is always sufficient power supply, and that the generation of it becomes much more environmentally friendly, all while lowering its costs. The country has received or allocated almost no investment in power generation over the last four years. In this time the demand for power has continued to grow, meaning that there is a lot of space for investment in this space. Argentina sources its power generation from various methods, including natural gas, renewables, hydroelectric (through multipurpose dams), thermal (thermal generation plants) and nuclear.
