GCC Meat Market Trends and Drivers

Combination of the increasing population, settlement and increase requirements for high quality and protein rich food categories are two of the main elements that are behind the development of the meat trade in GCC. Furthermore, meat market in GCC is driving, as there is a significant increase in the consumption of meat products in general, such as poultry, beef and lamb. Apart from this, the growing food service sector, such as restaurants, hotels, and convenience stores is also playing a significant role to increase the demand for fresh and processed meat products. The degree to which the region depends on meat imports to satisfy local demands has resulted in close trade relations with major exporters worldwide. In addition, the governmental efforts to enhance food security, for example the investments in the local livestock farming and the advanced farming, are also playing their role in market development.

The increasing need for higher quality and organic meat products because of health-conscious consumers and the addition of traceability levels to food chains is contributing to the GCC meat market. Moreover, the segment of halal meat still leads the market market, and as strict following of religious dietary rules is the driving factor for this market, the demand for certified halal meat in the region is being increased. Technical developments in food processing, cold chain logistics, and packaging are all providing better quality and shelf life to cater to consumer demands as well as to retail needs. In addition, the marketplace is experiencing a slow-but-steady change toward alternative proteins and plant-based meat replacements, aided by increasing concern about sustainability and the environment. Higher financial commitment to food security programs, as well as evolving consumer tastes and new product models are poised to strengthen the growth of the GCC meat sector in the coming years.
