The GCC countries comprise just 0.7% of the world’s population; however, they account for 3% of global spending on processed food and beverages—amounting to USD 102 billion out of a global total of USD 3.4 trillion. This indicates a high per capita consumption of food in the region, surpassing the global average. This is not surprising when examined closely: the population of the GCC now exceeds 58 million, and approximately 56.3% of this population falls within the age group of 25 to 54 years—a dynamic and youthful segment that underpins the food industry market more than any other demographic.
Given that Saudi Arabia alone accounts for approximately 59.7% of the total population in the GCC and over 53% of the region’s food and beverage market, Mashroo3k has chosen to present key indicators for this vital market within the Kingdom, based on the latest available data:
By the end of Q2 2021, there were around 916 food product factories in Saudi Arabia, with an additional 249 factories under construction.

The organic, healthy, and specialty foods market is estimated at USD 27 billion, while the halal food market alone is valued at USD 6 billion.
Saudi Arabia imports around USD 14.5 billion worth of food and beverage products annually.
