United Arab Emirates: Food Processing Ingredients Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   TC2025-0003
The UAE's food processing sector is thriving, driven by robust economic growth and domestic consumption. The more than 570 predominantly small and medium-sized food and beverage processors cater primarily to local demand, while also aiming to meet regional and global needs. Limited local production means that processors rely heavily on imported ingredients, presenting a significant opportunity for U.S. companies to tap the expanding sector. E-commerce plays an increasingly important role in growth.
