Saudi Arabia Gluten Free Food Market Trends:

Expansion of Gluten-Free Product Offerings

Retailers and food manufacturers in Saudi Arabia are increasingly diversifying their product offerings to cater to the growing demand for gluten-free foods. As health awareness and the prevalence of gluten sensitivities rise, there has been a noticeable expansion in the availability of gluten-free options across various categories, including snacks, baked goods, pasta, and ready-to-eat meals. For instance, in June 2023, British snack brand Pri Bakes is expanding its presence in the Middle East, launching at Tamimi stores in Saudi Arabia and Spinneys in Dubai. Known for its vegan and gluten-free products, the brand focuses on health-conscious snacks, using regional ingredients and boasting 75% less sugar than traditional treats. Major food retailers and supermarkets are now selling a vast range of gluten-free foods, allowing consumers to access suitable alternatives more easily. Manufacturers are also spending time creating new, innovative gluten-free recipes that are both healthy and full of flavour, so that the taste and consistency of normal foods are not affected. This change in product development is not just serving people who are gluten intolerant, but also health-conscious consumers who see gluten-free dieting as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Growth in E-Commerce

The rise of e-commerce has significantly contributed to the growth of the Saudi Arabia gluten-free food market. According to data from the International Trade Administration (ITA), by 2024, it is anticipated that there will be 33.6 million e-commerce users in the country, with smartphone penetration reaching 97%. As online grocery shopping becomes increasingly popular, consumers now have easy access to a wider variety of gluten-free food products, which may not be available in traditional brick-and-mortar stores. E-commerce platforms are offering the convenience of home delivery, allowing customers to shop for gluten-free snacks, baked goods, pasta, and ready-to-eat meals from the comfort of their homes. The variety of gluten-free options available online also appeals to consumers who may have limited access to specialized health food stores. Additionally, e-commerce enables consumers to compare prices, read reviews, and explore new products, enhancing the overall shopping experience. This growing online presence is expected to continue driving Saudi Arabia gluten-free food market growth as more people turn to digital platforms for their grocery needs.
