Saudi Arabia Edible Meat Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Saudi Arabia Edible Meat Market according to our research experts:

Poultry is the largest Type

  • Poultry posed tough competition to the red meat category as it is the most consumed edible meat in the Saudi Arabian region. It had a market share of 66.5% more than beef and 66% more than mutton in 2021. Poultry meat is considered the primary source of protein for consumers in this region. The country records the highest per capita consumption of chicken in the world, with 50 kg annually. With the high prices of beef and mutton and religious restrictions on pork, poultry meat had an opportunity compared to all other meats. With the increase in production and availability, consumption is increasing across on-trade and off-trade channels. The production increased to 60% to meet the local demand from local production in 2020.
  • Except for the other meat, beef in Saudi Arabia is predicted to be the fastest-growing edible meat to be consumed. It is projected to witness a CAGR of 2.94%, by value, during the forecast period (2022-2028). Most Saudi Arabian consumers prefer slow-cooked meat like beef, which offers a premium taste. With the increase in the ex-pat population, beef demand also increased; almost 1/3 of people are ex-pat population.
  • Most of the country's edible meats are imported. To reduce the dependency on imports, Saudi Arabia launched a single program, National Industrial Development and Logistics Program-NIDLP, to boost edible meat from 2020 to 2025. It aims to reinforce food security by establishing a regional food hub to ensure that local manufacturers meet all food needs. Specialized manufacturing clusters will be established, linking farmers, manufacturers, packaging plants, and retail companies to enable the local food processing sector of edible meat to meet 85% of the local demand for processed food products by 2030.

Market Definition

  • Meat - Meat is defined as the flesh or other edible parts of an animal used for food. The end use of the meat industry consists of only human consumption. Meat is generally purchased from retail outlets for home cooking and consumption. For the market studied, only uncooked meat has been considered. This could be processed in various forms, which have been covered under the “Processed” form. The other purchases of meat happen through the consumption of meat at foodservice outlets (restaurants, hotels, catering, etc.). ​
  • Other Meats - The other meat segment includes the meat of camel, horse, rabbit, etc. These are not so commonly consumed meat types but still, have a presence in distinct parts of the world.
