Saudi Arabia Snacks Industry Trends and Drivers:

The Saudi Arabia Snacks Market continues to gain momentum due to increased snacking culture and urban lifestyles around the Kingdom. Demand for snacks products in Saudi Arabia is on the rise in cities, particularly in Riyadh and Jeddah. Demand for chips, nuts and healthy snacks has increased in urban settings. Young, health-conscious millennial consumers are increasingly choosing organic and low-calorie snacks on the go thanks to social media food influencers. Local e-commerce platforms are likely to further stimulate demand in the Saudi Arabia Snacks Market since opportunities exist for subscription models and doorstep delivery. Existing regulations promote food safety and regulations are trending toward clean-label and gluten-free options. Urban consumers look for premium products, whereas rural areas prefer less expensive snacks. Demand for products is also stimulated through social media campaigns and food festivals that focus on prominent local and international flavors. Challenges cited by the market include rising concern over high sugar content and reliance on imported snacks, further reinforcing the need for local snack production. The use of collaborative partnerships with retailers improves shelf presence for the Saudi Arabia Snacks Market and other local food product categories for consumers across the market.

The growing trend of convenience and on-the-go consumption expedites growth in the Saudi Arabia Snacks Market. Single-serve, sharable, and portable snack format products capture busy and active professionals on the go or when time is limited. Protein bars and dried fruits appeal to fitness and healthy eating trends. Increased regulation within the market is allowing for food that is more nutritionally identified and can be labelled or promoted accordingly. Although market expansion is happening through retail with convenience stores and e-commerce platforms, the drawback in the Saudi Arabia Snacks Market is access to distribution in rural markets. As urban consumer behavior and attitudes trend towards social media, the growing number of snack tutorials and pairing videos being shared is likely to further engage younger consumer demographics. Urban supermarket retailers are increasingly selling more premium products, while rural consumers prefer cheaper alternatives based on less developed convenience offerings. Challenges
