Saudi Arabia: Retail Foods Annual

Saudi Arabia's food retail market increased to around $57 billion in 2025, influenced by rising incomes, population growth, and urbanization. U.S. retail food exports achieved a record $666.3 million in 2025, with an additional 22 percent increase in the first half of 2026. The demand for healthier, convenient, and ethnic food products is driven by a young population, increased workforce participation among women, and a significant expatriate community. Although there is competition from lower-cost suppliers and regulatory challenges, the U.S. retains a strong reputation for quality, which continues to create market opportunities.
