Market Trends of saudi arabia full service restaurants Industry

Asian cuisine gains popularity in Saudi Arabia, driven by large Asian ex-pat population

  • Full service restaurants are second to quick service restaurants in terms of the number of outlets in Saudi Arabia, mostly driven by the increasing frequency of dining out among residents and tourists. Middle Eastern cuisine is observed to have the highest penetration in terms of market share, covering a value of 45.61% as of 2022. Traditional dishes like Kabsa, Harees, Saleeg, Falafel, and many others are observed to be popular not only among the natives but also the international tourists visiting the country for both leisure and business purposes. Saudi Arabia’s total foreign and domestic tourists accounted for 93.5 million in 2022.
  • Middle Eastern cuisine was followed by Asian cuisine, with a market share of 25.77%, by value, in 2022, majorly driven by the large group of Asian expats residing in the country for employment purposes. Almost 30% of the total population in Saudi is covered by ex-pats. The largest share was occupied by Indians, with a count of 1.54 million as of 2021, which is 14% of all ex-pats, followed by Pakistanis, with a count of 1.06 million. Additionally, minor shares are observed to be covered by Bangladeshis, Filipinos, Sri Lankans, Indonesians, and others. This large Asian diaspora is driving the growth of this cuisine in the country with the expansion of various Asian FSR brands like Yauatcha, Zuma, and Roka, leading to chained Asian outlets, which are expected to register the fastest CAGR of 9.49% during the study period. Latin American cuisine is expected to register the highest CAGR of 11.76% during the study period, owing to the growth in the number of Latin American ex-pats arriving in the country. The number of Latin American expatriates in Saudi Arabia increased from 36,110 in 2015 to 46,000 in 2022.

Middle Eastern cuisine dominates Saudi full service restaurants, with popular dishes like kabsa, shawarma, and falafel

  • Full service restaurants have the highest average order value among all foodservice establishments. Owing to the increased frequency of dining out among residents and high disposable incomes, residents and tourists seek fine dining options in the country. The eating-out trend is more prevalent among the youth, with more than 85% of teenagers in the country revealing that they prefer eating out over home-cooked meals, and nearly 30% of them eating out twice a week. Because of the economy's rapid development and diversification, there has been a dynamic shift in the local people's dietary and eating habits, causing them to prefer food from restaurants rather than cooking at home owing to convenience in their busy daily work schedules, thereby promoting the growth rate of the order value in FSRs.
  • Saudi Arabia's Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 2.7% in July 2022 over the same month last year. The food and beverages segment rose 3.9%, driven by higher food prices and meat prices in particular, which rose as much as 5.1%. Food and beverage prices were the main drivers of the inflation rate in July 2022 due to their high relative importance in the Saudi consumer basket (with a weight of 18.8%). In the Middle East, a region scarce in freshwater, food manufacturers are embracing sustainable Agri-tech solutions or vertical farming to mitigate some of the factors associated with the high price of food in the country. In July 2022, the Saudi government allocated USD 2.66 billion to counter the impact of global prices on the food and beverage industry. Middle Eastern cuisine was observed to cover the highest market share of 45.61%, by value, as of 2022 among all other cuisines in Saudi FSRs, owing to the demand among locals and tourists toward traditional dishes.
