Saudi Arabia Ready Meals Market Trends & Drivers:

Saudi Arabia's ready meals market is experiencing robust growth driven by significant urbanization and changing lifestyle patterns. The increasing number of working professionals, recorded at 17,181,335 individuals as of September 2024, has created substantial demand for convenient, time-saving meal solutions. The expansion of nuclear families and single-person households is further driving adoption of portioned, easy-to-prepare meals that cater to smaller household sizes and busy routines.

The retail landscape transformation is significantly supporting market growth, with the Saudi Arabia retail market valued at USD 282.2 billion in 2024. The proliferation of hypermarkets, supermarkets, and convenience stores is providing wider shelf space and better visibility for ready-to-eat and frozen meals. Modern retail formats, including 24/7 stores, are catering to busy lifestyles and supporting impulse purchases, while improved cold storage infrastructure ensures quality maintenance of frozen ready meals throughout the distribution network.

Rising disposable incomes, averaging USD 18,260 annually per household (USD 1,522 monthly), are enabling consumers to prioritize convenience and quality over price considerations. This economic prosperity is encouraging exploration of diverse cuisines and premium ready meal options, while exposure to Western food habits and international cuisines is expanding variety and appeal.
