Saudi Arabia Vegan Ice Cream Market Trends & Drivers:
One big reason the Saudi vegan ice cream scene is picking up steam is the rising number of folks dealing with lactose issues and chasing healthier treats. Around 28% of adults in Riyadh show signs of lactose malabsorption, while 14.7% think they might be intolerant and 7.3% have a doctor's note for it, pushing more people toward plant-based options like coconut or almond milk scoops that feel indulgent without the gut trouble. The Saudi Food and Drug Authority even clocked a 15% jump in demand for these cleaner desserts recently, as shoppers swap out traditional dairy for stuff that's easier on the body and packed with better nutrients. It's not just talk—vegan brands are flying off shelves in cities like Jeddah, blending that creamy satisfaction with real wellness perks.
Government pushes are giving this market a real shot in the arm, especially through Vision 2030 and the Saudi Green Initiative that spotlight sustainable eats. The Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture teamed up with companies like Ayla Food Options to roll out local vegan alternatives, aiming to cut reliance on imports and promote eco-friendly farming right at home. These deals aren't just paperwork; they've sparked exhibitions where people sample plant-based goodies, firing up interest in greener desserts. Pair that with rules encouraging healthy food access, and you've got a wave making vegan ice cream more mainstream—think fewer hormones, lower environmental hits, and tastier options that fit the kingdom's big sustainability goals.
Local innovators and smarter shopping channels are making vegan ice cream everywhere you look these days. Vegan chef Ola Kayal fired up Nabati in Jeddah, dishing out cashew-coconut flavors like Arabic coffee and salted caramel that wow crowds without dairy or refined sugars. Meanwhile, giants like SADAFCO rolled out coconut-almond lines grabbing 15% of the health crowd, and the online grocery boom—hitting USD 1.54 billion—means apps and supermarkets are stocked with these treats, doubling vegan SKUs in stores. Sales jumped about 15 million units lately, fueled by young urbanites scrolling for plant-based picks that arrive fresh at your door.
