market share, BRF S.A., 2022
Other than the extensive product portfolio incorporating all forms and types of edible meat, the company's broad consumer reach makes it a leading player in the market.
High ex-pat population in the region drives the demand for various meat products
- Poultry is the most consumed meat type in the Middle East. The sales of poultry meat in the region rose by 13.96% in value from 2019 to 2022. Among all poultry birds, chicken meat dominated in the region compared to turkey, duck, and goose. Moreover, several countries are investing in improving poultry meat production. Pork is banned in the majority of Middle Eastern countries under Islamic dietary law. However, consuming pork is not illegal for non-Muslims in the UAE and Bahrain. These two countries import pork, which is sold in authorized foodservice establishments and retail outlets.
- Apart from other meat, beef is anticipated to register the fastest growth during the forecast period, with a CAGR of 2.36% by value. Bahrain has the highest per capita beef consumption of 15.80 kg in 2023. The country relies on beef imports from New Zealand, Pakistan, and the United Arab Emirates. Most fresh meat cuts available through online channels are New Zealand's beef sirloin, topside steak, and silverside steak. The country has also seen an increase in the ex-pat population from Western and Asian nations over the last two decades, leading to a more diverse range of gastronomic preferences, including food items like hamburgers. Similarly, among red meat, consumption is primarily dominated by beef due to the religious affiliations of Bahrain's population.
- By country, Saudi Arabia currently has the highest consumption of edible meat, with a share of 20.42%, by value, of the Middle Eastern edible meat market. The country is increasing its meat production facilities to gain self-sufficiency in meat production. For instance, Saudi Arabia plans to invest USD 5 billion to boost poultry production as the Kingdom aims to achieve a poultry meat self-sufficiency rate of 80% by 2025.

Government support and high meat consumption are boosting the sales of edible meat
- Saudi Arabia held the largest share of the market at 20.55% in 2022. To reduce the dependency on imports, Saudi Arabia launched the National Industrial Development and Logistics Program to boost edible meat production from 2020 to 2025. It aims to reinforce food security by establishing a regional food hub to ensure that local manufacturers meet all food needs. Owing to this, the livestock population reached 4.2 million heads in 2022.
- Bahrain observed a significant growth of 13.24% in sales value from 2019 to 2022 owing to the increased per capita consumption of edible meat, which reached over 93.1 kg per capita in 2022, a rise of 8.93 kg per capita from 2019. This was due to increased demand for foods like hamburgers and fried chicken as they became more popular with Bahraini consumers. The edible meat market is largely dominated by poultry, mainly due to the religious affiliation of Bahraini consumers.
- The demand for poultry is rising in the United Arab Emirates. It registered a growth of 6.92% by value from 2020 to 2022. Amid increasing global food prices, poultry remains a comparatively cheap source of animal protein in the UAE. A result of lower poultry prices, which were USD 2.6 per kg, the cheapest among all types of meat, and a surge in tourism increased the demand for poultry meat.
- Oman is the fastest-growing edible meat market in the Middle East, and it is expected to register a CAGR of 2.11% by value during the forecast period (2023-2029). Oman Investment Authority supported various edible meat projects in the country to increase its self-sufficiency and expand the market. These projects allowed the country to achieve meat self-sufficiency of 46% in 2021 from 37% in 2020. Major companies entered the local markets of the region to grow in the edible meat market.
Middle East Edible Meat Market Trends
Underdeveloped local supply chain in the region is a restraint to the production of beef
- Beef production in the region rose by 6.00% in 2022 from 2021. Saudi Arabia accounted for the region's major share of beef production. However, beef production is declining in Saudi Arabia. In 2022, beef production in the country dropped by 4.76%, registering a decline from 42 thousand tons in 2021 to 40 thousand tons in 2022. Imports account for the major beef source in Saudi Arabia. The country's beef imports grew at a rate of 1.54% in 2022 compared to 2021. India, Brazil, and Australia were the major exporters of beef to Saudi Arabia in 2021, with India exporting around 27 thousand tons. With the change in the maximum shelf life of imported frozen products, manufacturers from the United States are hoping that will result in increased sales growth in the Kingdom.
- Qatar has an exponential growth in beef production, and it had a growth of 22.59% in 2022 compared to the previous year. Qatar's beef production reached 1,853.52 tons in 2022 from 1,512 tons in 2021. However, the local value chain of the bovine category is underdeveloped, and live bovine animals are imported for local slaughtering. Large amounts of water and animal feed are required for fattening large animals such as cattle.
- Bahrain accounted for the lowest production in the region. However, the country saw growth in the production of beef by 7.74% in 2022. The beef market in Bahrain sees a huge demand during the Ramadan season. According to the Ministry of Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture Undersecretary for Animal Wealth Resources, the country imported 11,611 heads of livestock, including 10,500 heads of sheep, 1,077 heads of cattle, and 40 heads of camels, to ensure sufficient stock, bringing the total availability to 27,000 heads of livestock during the Ramadan season of 2023.

The region has observed a growing demand for premium meat products
- Kuwait and Bahrain recorded the highest prices for essential goods in the Gulf region. In 2022, 1 kg of beef was priced at USD 4.91 in Bahrain and USD 4.93 in Kuwait, whereas in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, it was priced below USD 4. The reliance of Gulf countries on imports for necessities, including beef and beef products, is one of the leading causes of price increases.
- Spending on premium meat is high in Middle Eastern countries owing to their large affluent populations. For the past eight years, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia have consistently ranked among Australia's top 20 most valuable beef export markets. In October 2022, the price of beef in Australia reached USD 2.82/1 kg, up by 5.3% week on week and 5.1% year on year (Y-o-Y), owing to rising exports. Western-style food services have grown rapidly in the last decade due to accelerated economic growth driven by rapid urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and increased tourism. This has increased demand for high-quality beef grades and cuts.
- The Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) has expanded the shelf life for chilled beef from the United States from 70 to 120 days. This measure is expected to help US exporters save at least USD 4 per kg due to lower transportation costs using sea transportation while providing Saudi Arabian importers with the flexibility to purchase larger quantities of US beef. Instead of just a few weeks as per the prior regulation, Saudi Arabian importers now have at least 70 days to sell American beef. The extra time is expected to increase profitability since a longer shelf life minimizes the need for last-minute panic sales at steep discounts.
