Hyderabad, March 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to a new market research report titled “Saudi Arabia Foodservice Market-2023-2028", the Saudi Arabian food market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.71%. Saudi Arabia's youth-driven population is a significant driver of fast-food growth. Approximately 70% of the country’s population is under 30 years, causing an increase in mobile food preferences. These changes are broadly influenced by Western cultural trends in the Saudi market. This high demand for food services has created a favorable environment for industry growth. 

Over the medium term, the growing demand for home delivery and foodservice providers is expected to drive the market’s growth. Increasing health consciousness and the growing rate of obesity among the Saudi Arabian population are some challenges that can hinder market growth.

What has been the impact of this growth?

The market has been experiencing rapid socio-cultural changes over the past few years, mainly due to the rapid economy growth, which allowed people from the country to travel to Western countries for tourism and education, thus exposing them to Western food and culture.
