Saudi Arabia Protein Ingredients Market Overview, 2027

"Saudi Arabia, as a country with a large population and a diverse dietary landscape, has a mix of animal-based and plant-based protein sources. Meat, particularly beef, chicken, and lamb, is a staple source of protein in Saudi Arabia. Beef is highly valued and often consumed in dishes like kabsa (spiced rice with meat), while chicken is widely consumed due to its affordability and versatility in cooking. Lamb is also popular, especially during festive occasions and traditional celebrations. Poultry consumption, primarily chicken, has been increasing steadily in Saudi Arabia. The demand for chicken products, including whole chicken, chicken breasts, and chicken-based processed foods, is driven by affordability, health considerations, and convenience. Saudi Arabia has a long coastline along the Red Sea and the Arabian Gulf, providing access to a wide range of fish and seafood. Fish like hamour, tuna, and shrimp are popular choices in Saudi cuisine. Seafood consumption is especially high during the holy month of Ramadan. Dairy products, including milk, yogurt, and cheese, are widely consumed in Saudi Arabia and contribute to the protein market. Traditional dairy products such as laban (buttermilk) and qahwa (Arabic coffee) with dates are also enjoyed.Legumes such as lentils, chickpeas, and fava beans, as well as grains like rice and wheat, are important sources of plant-based protein in Saudi Arabian cuisine. Dishes like hummus, falafel, and traditional Saudi Arabian soups often incorporate legumes and grains.It's worth noting that cultural and religious factors, such as Halal dietary requirements and the observance of Ramadan, can influence the protein market in Saudi Arabia. The market for protein ingredients is anticipated to expand significantly throughout the projected period, according to Bonafide Research's research report, ""Saudi Arabia Protein Ingredients Market Overview, 2027."" Due to the increasing popularity of foods made with protein ingredients, such as margarine, cold cuts, bakery goods, spreads, yoghurt, and milk sausages, the market is gaining speed and experiencing strong demand. The market is expanding as a result of rising sales of these items among senior and health-conscious consumers. A rise in the development of proteins by different producers that contain a variety of amino acids and serve certain purposes, including satiety, muscle repair, weight loss, and energy balancing, is additionally anticipated to supply the market with tremendous potential opportunities.As the food and beverage industry grows as a result of growing government and consumer spending, the market for protein components is anticipated to increase. The development of the global market for protein ingredients is anticipated to be constrained by governmental regulations governing labeling and incorporation in application sectors. The standards and labeling requirements for plant-based products differ by market, which makes it challenging for these products to be exposed to and placed in application sectors, hence limiting the market growth for protein components. Socioeconomic trends including increased urbanization, rising affluence, and ageing populations are the drivers boosting protein demand for healthy ageing, and it is becoming more and more understood how important protein is to a healthy diet. As a result, the market for country-specific protein components is experiencing rapid expansion due to the rising need for proteins. The use of protein ingredients in the global market is anticipated to be constrained by the adverse effects of overusing protein compounds, which include skin allergies, constipation, and nausea. Soy and milk protein components can be the root of several illnesses and allergies. According to projections, this will restrain the market's growth for protein components worldwide.Covid-19The rapid spread of COVID-19 and the equally rapid government response to restrict the movement of the majority of the population in different countries have dramatically changed the consumption patterns, which has also impacted the food & agriculture industries. The significant changes in consumer purchasing behavior are gradually transforming the food industry. Due to rising health concerns, consumers have started avoiding the consumption of meat and poultry. They are now more inclined toward protein substitute products to fill in the gap. The sales of immunity-related ingredients have spiked globally. These trends have fueled the demand for protein-based products as protein is one of the most important constituents that help in building immunity. However, the corona virus has caused a severe disruption in the supply chain and has influenced the supply of ingredients and raw materials. Companies are constantly trying to handle the situation and be ready for any further disruption.Considered in this report:Geography: Saudi ArabiaBase year: 2021Estimated year: 2022Forecast year: 2027Aspects covered in this reportSaudi Arabia Protein Ingredient market with its value and forecast along with its segmentsVarious drivers and challengesOn-going trends and developmentsTop profiled companiesStrategic recommendationBy MAIN Source: • Animal PI• Plant PIBy Application: • Food & Beverages• Animal Feed• Cosmetics & Personal Care• Pharmaceutical & nutraceuticals• OthersBy Animal PI Type:• Egg Protein• Milk Protein• Whey Protein• Casein/Caseinates• Gelatin• OthersBy Plant PI Type:• Soy Protein• Pea Protein• Wheat Protein• Others (canola,Rice,potato,etc.)The approach of the report:This report consists of a combined approach of primary as well as secondary research.
