The GCC countries comprise only 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 when we take a closer look; the population of the GCC countries now exceeds 58 million, with approximately 56.3% of them falling within the age group of 25 to 54 years.
