Market Driver

Integration of International Cuisine into Regional Food Culture – International cuisines are increasingly popular in the GCC region, which in turn strongly impacts the demand for sauces, dressings, and condiments. As the expatriate population of the GCC accounts for about 50.9% of the total population in GCC countries, various culinary traditions have now become a part of food culture. Additionally, the entry of international restaurant chains, such as; McDonald’s, KFC, and Wagamama, has made consumers more familiar with international flavors, which has led to higher sales of corresponding condiments. Another factor is the influence of international food shows and personalities on Instagram and TikTok, which has inspired GCC nationals to try out foreign recipes. For instance, the realization of Saudi Vision 2030 in the tourism industry through the development of tourism components in hotels, transportation, and restaurants, further creates demand in the market.

GCC Sauces, Dressings & Condiments Industry Prime Challenge

Ensuring Quality at the Lowest Possible Price – The GCC Sauces, Dressings & Condiment Market has the challenge of maintaining cost, and quality, simultaneously. Consumers increasingly demand higher-quality products with a diversification of flavors and healthier composition, yet they are largely budget-conscious, especially after the economic pressures. Indeed, organic and preservative-free condiments are popular but also result in expensive production costs, which is repulsive to price-sensitive buyers.

Regional producers suffer stiff competition from international brands with new, innovative products, which could include vegan mayonnaise or sugar-free ketchup. Local companies must spend money on research and development to develop unique, culturally significant flavors but maintain competitive prices. Rising raw material expenses, particularly for freight due to global supply chain issues, are worsening the circumstances.
