EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Consumer foodservice in 2022: The big picture


Vision 2030 is making Saudi Arabia one of the strongest and most attractive markets for
investors worldwide. Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 aims to pave to the way to the transformation of
the market, with a large-scale reform of its economic and social platforms, and the opening up
the country to the rest of the world. Since the beginning of the Vision 2030 strategy, the country
is perceived to have been efficiently achieving its goals. In this vein, there are clear signs that
Saudi Arabia is becoming a solid market, not least with regard to the consumer foodservice
industry. The implementation and development of Vision 2030 has helped Saudi Arabia to foster
change in consumer behaviour, which has changed drastically as a result. Prior to the
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, many Saudi Arabian consumers used to travel abroad often
and spend huge amounts of money in other countries. This behaviour was heavily influenced by
the extant restrictive environment in Saudi Arabia. The restrictive environment was
characterised by a very weak offer of entertainment events. There were no cinemas, which were
banned before 2019, and music was not permitted to be played in retail stores or restaurants.
Similarly, the offer of domestic tourist destinations was very weak, with a highly limited pool of
attractions. As a result, entertainment was not an area that could easily encourage consumers
to stay in the kingdom, spend their holidays there and spend domestically.
Therefore, Vision 2030 has been implemented to transform the kingdom from a restrictive
environment to more open and accommodating one in terms of entertainment and amenities,
including consumer foodservice. In this vein, the focus has shifted to entertainment events like
the Riyadh and Jeddah Seasons. The Riyadh Season is one of the most interesting and
important events of the year in Saudi Arabia. During this season, thousands of tourists come to
the capital city to experience a range of events. Given the general lack of entertainment
available in the kingdom, Riyadh Season assumes an strong position in the social calendar.
Winter Wonderland is another huge event held annually in Saudi Arabia, and many consumers
and tourists wait to spend time and money during the period. Meanwhile, Boulevard is a large
entertainment venue that is seen as one of the most interesting accomplishments of the Vision
2030 initiative. This is especially the case for local consumers, who can enjoy the venue all-
year-round. The success of Boulevard has led to the launch of Boulevard 2, which is under
construction and is expected to be an even bigger venue than the original Boulevard. The
development of a second Boulevard venue provides an important indication of the scope and
strength of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 strategy.
While international tourism and inbound tourist flows attract much of the attention, hitherto
relatively weak domestic tourism in Saudi Arabia is growing significantly in line with Vision 2030.
The aim is provide a range of, and infrastructure for, domestic amenities and leisure and
entertainment opportunities that act to encourage consumers to stay longer in the kingdom, not
least spending time and money during their holidays. In this vein, the government’s
implementation of longer school terms is seen as a smart strategy to force consumers to stay in
the kingdom and a result spend more in the domestic economy.
However, religious events and pilgrimages remain at the centre of the country’s appeal and
tourism offer. For example, the resumption of the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages opens up a whole
different consumer foodservice area due to the millions of pilgrims who visit at these times

annually. As a result, many branded consumer foodservice players expanded their number of
outlets in Makkah and Madinah in 2022. The final year of the review period was also witness to
another clever approach to promoting the Saudi Arabian market. This centred on the FIFA
World Cup in Qatar. The Saudi Tourism Authority allowed visitors holding the FIFA World Cup
Qatar 2022 Hayya Card to enter and secure a visa for Saudi Arabia free of charge. This
consequently, increased consumer traffic and consumption in the country’s consumer
foodservice categories.

2022 key trends


Independent RestroCafes provided one of the most interesting trends in consumer
foodservice in Saudi Arabia in 2022. These outlets are emerging as strong competitors to many
branded operators in foodservice, especially those present in chained cafés and full-service
restaurants. An independent RestroCafe can basically be perceived as a normal café, but with a
more extensive menu. In this vein, an independent RestroCafe acts more like a typical
restaurant, where consumers can go for a cup of coffee, but also to have a proper meal for
breakfast, lunch or dinner. One of the main attractions of RestroCafes for consumers is the
ambience of these outlets. This is especially the case in light of the new openness
characterising the country’s social and entertainment outlook. For example, shishas are served
in RestroCafes with no restrictions, music is played and even live bands can perform inside the
café. Furthermore, Karaoke Nights attract many consumers, especially among the younger
cohorts, who tend to be much more open-minded, and open to new experiences, than older
generations.

Competitive landscape
The competition in consumer foodservice is very, and increasingly, fierce in Saudi Arabia,
partly due to the huge numbers of companies that want to invest in the kingdom. Moreover,
existing players in the industry continued to try to maintain their volume and value shares in a
marketplace made more open and amenable, but also more challenging in light of the effects of
the Vision 2030 initiative. The changing and more dynamic environment in the country forces
consumer foodservice companies to work hard to compete and win over consumers, who are
becoming harder to attract and retain. The growing array of consumer foodservice options is
leading to innovation among brands, and consumers feel increasingly spoilt for choice. This
means that some consumers are keen to try out various foodservice types and outlets, making it
harder for players to create and maintain a loyal customer base.
A clear example of the fierce competition in the industry, and the strategies being executed by
the major players in consumer foodservice in Saudi Arabia, is the widespread expansion of
brands. For example, 17 new Dunkin’ outlets opened in Saudi Arabia in May 2022. Moreover,
on 1 October 2022, 30 Dunkin’ branches opened in one day, with many more openings during
the year. The dynamic expansion strategy for Dunkin’ provides evidence of the ways in which
companies are focused on developing and maintaining a thriving business in the increasingly
open, dynamic and potentially lucrative Saudi Arabian market.

Independent foodservice developments


In 2022, chained consumer foodservice, overall, continued to rebound from the losses in
outlet and current value sales terms due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Independent
consumer foodservice found it more difficult to arrest the overall decline in outlets, but continued
to see current value sales rise in 2022. Over the forecast period, independent consumer
foodservice is predicted to see an upward trajectory in outlets, as well as further healthy value
(constant 2022 prices) growth, albeit at a slower rate than that of chained consumer

foodservice. Nonetheless, with double the number of outlets, compared with chained ones,
independent consumer foodservice is set to continue to dominate the landscape and
foodservice value sales, despite the entry of more and more chains.
In addition to the development of independent RestroCafes in the kingdom, the presence of
local independent full-service and limited-service restaurants and kiosks is growing. More of
these independents are expected to form chains over the forecast period. As part of Vision 2030
“Made in Saudi”, the government has been encouraging local entrepreneurs to open local
businesses in all industries and sectors, not only in foodservice. As a result, many local brands
are achieving huge success in the market. There are many examples in consumer foodservice,
such as I’m Hungry (chicken limited-service restaurants) in Jeddah. The brand, which was set to
open a first branch in Riyadh by the end of 2022, is expected to develop into a chain in the short
term. There are other strong competitive independent brands, such as Kyan Cafe (kiosks),
which have developed or are developing into chains in the new environment.
Some independent players and brands gain dynamism, especially Kuwaiti ones, during
Riyadh Season. This is due to the huge profits they accrue during the season. Indeed, some
independents are able to achieve their profit targets for the year in just one Riyadh Season.
These brands come to the season annually with new innovations and new outlet ambiences, so
consumers have many options to experience, which increases the already fierce competition.

What next for consumer foodservice?


Saudi Arabia’s strong potential as a market offers major development and growth
opportunities for consumer foodservice. Its dynamism is underpinned by the Vision 2030
strategy. There are areas in the kingdom that remain rural and under development, such as
Yanbu, Jubail, Abha, and many other areas where competition is still weak. In major cities like
Riyadh and Jeddah, the competition is fierce, and companies have to develop new and
innovative ideas, not only focus on quality and service, to compete. Consumers in Saudi Arabia
are much harder to please and consumer behaviour is changing fast.
In 2023, Saudi Arabia’s economic situation is expected to stabilise, although this is likely to
depend on a stable global economic situation. Saudi Arabian consumers are developing new
mentalities and they are more open-minded than in the pre-pandemic period, when they used to
travel abroad often, due to the lack of openness and entertainment events in the country. This is
one reason for the success of Vision 2030, as it promises and is achieving significant
transformation in the kingdom. The focus on bringing new concepts and changing the mind-set
of consumers is bound up with the development of entertainments and other events to
encourage consumers stay in the country, and, consequently, spend more over longer periods
domestically, rather than wait for visits to foreign countries to spend large shares of their
disposable budgets.
Consequently, the outlook for consumer foodservice in Saudi Arabia is very promising over
the forecast period. However, consumer foodservice players need to be aware that will be
harder to win over and retain consumers due to the extensive and increasing number of
foodservice types, outlets and experiences they have to choose from.
