A surge in disposable income and customer preferences for quick-to-eat foods are the primary drivers of demand for foreign bakery items in the GCC market. The development of the industry is further aided by the introduction of novel tastes and creative packaging. The demand for bakery items in the region is being driven by the growing food processing industry as well as the growing impact of Western cuisine trends. Additionally, the industry is expanding due to the expanding number of food service businesses and the broad availability of a variety of bakery product lines. The demand for the product is also being supported by a notable increase in the number of artisanal bakeries and patisseries that provide a variety of cakes, pastries, tarts, macarons, pies, and other treats.
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) provides a broad platform for exporting bakery goods from across the world while also satisfying local consumer demand. Saudi Arabia is the largest of the GCC countries; the fastest-growing countries in the area are the UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain. Because of Kuwait's unique climate, the country produces very little agricultural output domestically, despite a growing need for bakery goods and ingredients. The growing trend of presenting baked goods at social gatherings, business parties, unique and festive events, etc., is a primary factor driving the GCC market. Aside from this, an increasing number of creative product variations, including bakery goods that are gluten-free, vegan, and lactose-free, have emerged as a result of consumers' increased health consciousness is boosting growth. Moreover, the growing apprehension among consumers over the existence of artificial ingredients in traditional bread products is driving the market for clean-label and organic alternatives. In addition, several local producers are concentrating on creating premium baking ingredients to extend the shelf life of baked goods and give them a deeper flavour and texture. Throughout the projection period, the market for bakery goods in the GCC area will continue to be driven by the aforementioned reasons.
The market is witnessing multiple collaborations and technological advancements, for instance, Kerry, a globally recognized leader in taste and nutrition, has formally inaugurated a brand-new 21,500-square-foot, cutting-edge facility at its Jeddah location within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This new facility, which is Kerry's largest in the Middle East, is among the most technologically advanced and productive in the world. It produces delicious, nourishing, and sustainable food ingredients that will be distributed throughout the Middle East. The company has invested over €80 million in the region over the previous four years.
