Health-led moderation reshapes everyday consumption
Health and wellness continued to strengthen its role across Saudi Arabia’s food and beverage industry in 2024, as consumers increasingly reassessed everyday dietary choices in response to persistently high obesity and diabetes rates. Rather than adopting restrictive diets, consumers showed a clear preference for moderation, ingredient transparency and functional benefits that could be integrated into daily routines. This supported sustained demand for natural, reduced sugar, fortified and free-from products across categories, from staple foods and dairy to snacks and beverages. Government-led initiatives, including excise taxes on sugary products and broader nutrition strategies under Vision 2030, reinforced these behaviours, encouraging manufacturers to focus on reformulation, clean labelling and value-added nutrition while maintaining taste and familiarity.
