Background


The United Arab Emirates (UAE) packaged food market experienced steady growth during the last decade. Packaged foods refer to food products that are pre-packaged and ready for consumption, offering convenience and longer shelf life. The market in the UAE witnessed increased demand due to factors such as urbanization, busy lifestyles, and a growing expatriate population. UAE is the home of more than 200 nationalities. The availability of a wide range of packaged food products, catering to diverse tastes and preferences, also contributed to market growth during this period.

With the increasing awareness of health and nutrition, consumers are becoming more conscious of the ingredients and nutritional content of packaged foods. This has led to a demand for healthier and more natural alternatives, posing a challenge to traditional packaged food products. Further, the UAE has stringent regulations concerning food safety, labeling, and import/export, which can be a challenge for companies entering or operating in the market.
