Middle East Meat Market Trends & Drivers:

The Middle East meat market is experiencing robust growth driven by rising population and rapid urbanization, which has significantly increased protein consumption demands across the region. The strong emphasis on halal certification continues to shape production and import trends, ensuring compliance with cultural and religious requirements while opening opportunities for certified suppliers. Government initiatives focused on food security are driving substantial investments in local meat production facilities and supply chain infrastructure to reduce import dependency and achieve self-sufficiency goals.

Saudi Arabia leads regional transformation with impressive production milestones, as poultry meat production reached 558 million kilograms in early 2024, representing a 9% increase compared to the previous year. This growth is supported by biosecurity measures, modern technologies, financing support, and Vision 2030 initiatives aimed at achieving poultry self-sufficiency. Major international players are expanding their presence, with JBS investing USD 50 million in a new Jeddah plant in July 2024, quadrupling production capacity and focusing on chicken nuggets to support Saudi Arabia's food security goals and economic diversification objectives.

The market is witnessing a significant shift toward processed and frozen meat products, driven by changing consumer lifestyles and urbanization trends. Health-conscious consumers are increasingly demanding organic, lean, and high-quality meat options, while advances in cold chain logistics and packaging technologies ensure product freshness and boost consumer confidence. E-commerce platforms and modern retail formats are making premium meat products more accessible, with companies like Meat House Gourmet launching online butcher shops offering specialty meats including Wagyu beef, demonstrating the growing digital transformation and premium market segments across the Middle East region.
