United Arab Emirates: Food Processing Ingredients Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   TC2024-0003
The UAE's food processing sector is thriving, driven by robust economic growth and domestic consumption. With 568 predominantly small- and medium-sized food and beverage processors, the UAE hosts over 2,000 food and beverage manufacturing companies that generate $7.63 billion in annual revenue. While primarily catering to local demand, these firms also aim to meet regional and global needs. Limited local production means that they rely heavily on imported ingredients, presenting a significant opportunity for U.S. companies to tap into this expanding sector.
