Saudi Arabia Baby Food, 2019

Saudi Arabia Baby Food, 2019



“Saudi Arabia Baby Food ” is an analytical report by  which provides extensive and highly detailed current and future market trends in the Saudi Arabia market.

Saudi Arabia has a youthful population, but the birth rate has been falling. Living standards are high, although wealth is heavily concentrated among relatively few families. The baby food sector is well developed by regional standards, but has continued to increase, fueled by a healthy economy until recently, and a rising number of live births up to 2014. Value growth has been constrained by price controls on baby milk since 2014. Milks account for the majority of sales and have strengthened their position partly due to low breastfeeding rates but mainly because of the increasing popularity of growing-up milks. Cereals have lost some ground. Wet meals and other baby food account for less than 6% of sector value, although wet meals have performed particularly well in recent years.

Until recently there was very limited local production of baby food. Multinationals dominated, led by Nestlé. However, In 2012, the Almarai/Mead Johnson joint venture began local production and output has risen dramatically since then, destined both for the domestic arena and other countries in the region.

Most baby foods are sold through grocery stores, supermarkets, and pharmacies, with the latter particularly important for baby milks.  predicts further growth up to 2023, given the increased exposure to Western lifestyles, the underlying strength of the economy (despite current problems), the increasing female workforce participation, and the probably stable birth numbers.
