Saudi Arabia Extruded Snack Food Market Trends & Drivers

Three major factors driving the growth of the Saudi Arabia extruded snack food market include the rising popularity of convenient ready-to-eat snacks fueled by urbanization and shifting lifestyles. Urban consumers, especially younger people and working professionals, favor on-the-go options that fit busy daily routines. This trend is amplified by the expanding network of modern retail such as supermarkets, convenience stores, and online platforms, providing easier access to extruded snacks. Retail sales in Saudi Arabia crossed SAR 670 billion recently, highlighting the robust purchasing power backing this growth. Companies respond with diverse flavors and product innovations to capture this growing demand, making extruded snacks a staple choice for quick consumption.

Health-consciousness among Saudi consumers has significantly reshaped product offerings in the extruded snack segment. There is increasing demand for snacks fortified with proteins, gluten-free ingredients, and plant-based options, aligning with global wellness trends. The Saudi government supports this shift through initiatives like the Healthy Food Promotion under the Saudi Food and Drug Authority, which encourages reducing unhealthy additives and improving nutritional transparency. This initiative is part of broader Vision 2030 goals to improve public health by curbing non-communicable diseases. Brands now offer portion-controlled packs to help mindful eating, reflecting a market that’s not just growing in volume but also evolving in quality and consumer awareness.

Lastly, competitive intensity from well-established multinational and local players such as PepsiCo, Kellogg's, and Mondelez International is shaping the market dynamics. These companies actively engage in product diversification, leveraging extrusion technology advancements to create various snack textures and flavor profiles. Investments are also being made in local production capabilities, supported by government strategies aimed at boosting domestic manufacturing and self-sufficiency in the food sector. For example, investment opportunities in snack production facilities come with attractive returns, with private investments encouraged to meet rising consumer demand. These competitive strategies promote innovation, brand differentiation, and better availability across both urban and emerging rural markets. This competitive landscape propels continuous market expansion with growing consumer engagement.
