GCC Juice Market Analysis
The GCC juice market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.02% during the forecast period.
Across Middle Eastern countries, the demand for juices and nectars has doubled over the past couple of years, primarily for premium juice products. Consumption is rising, driven by the affluent Gulf States, mainly Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Higher demand for value-added products, such as juices containing vegetables, seeds, and other ingredients, has been witnessed in recent years. Fruit juice is expected to account for a significant share of the market studied. Brands' novel offerings, growing consumer awareness toward juice consumption, and increasing disposable income are some major factors driving the GCC juice market.
Moreover, drinking beverages with added artificial sweeteners can increase the risk of obesity and other health problems such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and others. This is propelling the demand for natural beverages, such as fruit juices that do not contain added preservatives. According to the Organic Trade Association, due to the high prevalence of obesity in some GCC nations, such as the United Arab Emirates, where 40% of the population were obese as of 2022, consumers in the GCC region are becoming more health concerned. To encourage people to make healthier choices, most countries in the region have imposed a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages and concentrates. These factors are propelling the free-from, organic juice market across the GCC market.
