Saudi Arabia Meat Industry Trends and Drivers:
The meat market in Saudi Arabia is thriving on the back of the cultural demand for protein-rich diets, coupled with a swelling population that has varied culinary tastes. Poultry (notably chicken) is by far the preferred protein source due to its low cost and its ability to meet halal dietary practices for locals and expatriates alike. The increased consumer awareness of healthy food choices has seen more consumers switch to lean meats, especially poultry and fish; however, there is also rising demand for quality and organic red meat (beef and mutton). Coupled with government initiatives under Vision 2030 to increase domestic production to reduce import dependence and improve food security, the meat market is set to grow.
As urbanization increases and disposable incomes rise, the demand for convenience meat products – including processed and ready-to-eat meat products– will increase. For example, busy lifestyles in urban areas such as Riyadh and Jeddah are two factors that have increased the popularity of frozen and marinated poultry (e.g., pre-marinated chicken and frozen alternatives), where the products may be obtained through outlets such as supermarkets and online marketplaces developed by large companies as well as smaller platforms developed by wholesalers. The food service sector, (e.g., restaurants and fast-food chains) is also growing fast, and there is more emphasis on meat-based products and dishes that appeal to tourists and expatriates that are visiting. Additionally, it is important to note that digital technologies have increased products’ availability in the market, and improvements in the cold chain logistics means beef and chicken products quality are more easily maintained, which raises consumer confidence.
