The Saudi Arabia meat market is growing due to rising demand for poultry, processed meats, and premium options also include urbanization, health consciousness, e-commerce, and sustainability trends, with significant import reliance

According to TechSci Research report, “Saudi Arabia Meat Market – By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the Saudi Arabia Meat market stood at USD 13.10 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow USD 18.34 billion by 2030 with a CAGR 5.83% during forecast period. The Saudi Arabia meat market is one of the most dynamic and rapidly growing sectors in the Kingdom's food industry, characterized by increasing demand driven by rising population, urbanization, and changing dietary habits. Another significant factor driving the growth of the Saudi Arabia meat market is the increasing popularity of processed and ready-to-cook meat products. With busy urban lifestyles and changing consumer preferences, many Saudis are turning to convenient, pre-packaged meat products that offer time-saving benefits without compromising on quality. Ready-to-cook meals, frozen meats, and processed meat products such as sausages, nuggets, and deli meats are increasingly in demand, especially among working professionals and families. These products cater to the busy lifestyle of Saudi consumers and align with global trends in convenience food consumption.

Sustainability and ethical sourcing practices have also become key considerations in the Saudi Arabia meat market. As global awareness about environmental issues and animal welfare grows, Saudi consumers are increasingly seeking products that align with their values. There is a rising demand for sustainably produced meat, including products that are free from antibiotics and hormones, and sourced from companies that adhere to ethical farming practices. In response, Saudi meat producers and importers are adopting more environmentally friendly and ethical production practices, such as implementing waste reduction measures, improving animal welfare, and ensuring sustainable sourcing throughout the supply chain. This trend is expected to gain further momentum as the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 initiative promotes sustainability and green practices across various industries, including food production.

While the Saudi Arabia meat market is experiencing steady growth, it is not without its challenges. One of the major obstacles is the country’s heavy reliance on imports for red meat, which exposes the market to fluctuations in global meat prices and supply chain disruptions. The Kingdom’s dependency on imports also makes it vulnerable to geopolitical tensions and trade barriers, which could impact the stability of the meat supply. Moreover, the rising cost of feed and transportation for livestock and the challenges of maintaining animal health in harsh climates are additional factors that could affect domestic meat production in Saudi Arabia.
