he GCC countries comprise 0.7% of the world’s population; however, they account for 3% of global spending on processed food and beverages, amounting to $102 billion out of a total of $3.4 trillion. This indicates a high per capita food consumption in the region, exceeding the global average.
This is not surprising upon closer examination, as the population of the GCC now exceeds 58 million, with approximately 56.3% of them falling within the 25–54 age group. This key demographic is the driving force behind the food industry market, as it is the most dynamic and youthful segment.
Since Saudi Arabia alone accounts for about 59.7% of the total GCC population and holds over 53% of the food and beverage market share, “Mashroo3k” has decided to present key indicators of this vital market in the Kingdom, based on the latest available statistics.
