Saudi Arabia Frozen Foods Market Trends:

Expansion of Local Manufacturing Capacity

The Saudi frozen foods market is growing at a fast rate due to local manufacturing capacity building. This move supports the government's Vision 2030 plan, which promotes investment in local production and food security. The focus is to lower the country's reliance on imports and provide a consistent supply of high-quality food products to fulfill growing consumer demand. Local production not only generates jobs but also solidifies the food sector by increasing output and enhancing the supply chain, rendering food items more accessible and affordable. In November 2024, Americana and Farm Frites announced a USD 100 million investment to build a state-of-the-art frozen French fries factory in Saudi Arabia, which will begin operations in 2026. The new plant is designed to increase local manufacturing and counter the increasing demand for frozen potato foods, especially French fries. The factory will assist the firms in adhering to Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 aim of increasing local food production and enhancing food security. The action is anticipated to consolidate the frozen foods industry in the MENA region, especially in the sector of frozen potatoes. It will allow Americana and Farm Frites to take advantage of the growing demand for frozen food in the country. Through concentration on local manufacturing, the firms will assist in lowering the demand for imports as well as enhancing supply chain efficiency.

Growing Demand for Processed Foods and Innovation

The increasing need for frozen food in Saudi Arabia is stimulated by changing consumer taste towards convenience and quality. Due to consumer demand for healthier, high-quality food that is convenient to prepare, the processed food industry has become a fundamental component of the Kingdom's food market. This has encouraged the manufacturers to invest in research and develop their capacities to produce food that meets the changing consumer taste. Additionally, government initiatives like Vision 2030 are supporting the food industry's growth, encouraging businesses to enhance local production and support food security. In July 2024, Agthia Group, a leading food and beverage company, opened a new AED 90 Million protein manufacturing facility in Jeddah. This new plant, with a capacity of 9,000 tons per year, is intended to meet the growing demand for frozen and processed meat products in Saudi Arabia. The plant will manufacture a variety of products to appeal to local customers, enhancing Agthia's position in the Saudi Arabian market and the wider MENA region. Through the increase in its manufacturing capabilities, Agthia is optimally positioned to address existing as well as future market needs. The investment responds to the increased demand for regional production within the region, and especially processed food. With rising consumer demand for convenience and high-quality products, Agthia's strategic investment in operational effectiveness and innovation will enable it to consolidate its market leadership position within the Saudi frozen foods sector. The initiatives of the company to increase production capacities will add to the overall Saudi Arabia frozen foods market growth.
