Rising number of vegan and flexitarian consumers in the Middle East has resulted in an increased market share of food and beverages segment in the region

  • The food and beverage segment led the application of proteins in the region, accounting for a major volume share. The share was highly influenced by the dairy, meat-alternative, and bakery industries, which accounted for 42% of the value share of the overall proteins consumed in the Middle East in 2022. The share is primarily driven by the rising number of vegan and flexitarian consumers who increasingly rely on or are open to animal-free product offerings in the market.
  • This segment is followed by the animal feed segment, which is largely driven by the application of plant proteins. The inclusion of sustainable plant protein sources, mainly soy and wheat proteins, highly drives the segment due to their low cost, excellent digestibility, and neutral flavor profile. Hence, pea protein has opportunities for wide applications in animal feed and is anticipated to be the fastest-growing protein type in the animal feed segment, with a CAGR of 8.8% by volume during the forecast period.
  • The personal care and cosmetics segment is the fastest-growing, with a projected CAGR of 7.12% by value during the forecast period. Proteins are used in a range of cosmetics products, including emulsions, gels, shampoos, conditioners, and creams. Proteins such as collagen, elastin, and keratin are also gaining popularity due to their higher efficacy in naturally strengthening the skin and hair texture. Companies like Estee Lauder, Neu Cosmetics DMCC, and Guerlain are increasingly investing in R&D to develop more effective and sustainable alternative protein sources. This factor is further boosting the ingredient scope and application in personal care products, which may aid the growth of the market in the future.
Middle East Protein Market

With more than half of its population looking to consume protein supplements, Saudi Arabia registered the maximum market share in the region's protein market

  • One of the region's most important dietary and consumer trends is the shift toward plant-based, flexitarian, or reducetarian diets. This has resulted in the highest share of plant proteins. Plant proteins accounted for an applicational volume of 82% in 2022.
  • Saudi Arabia led the market in 2022. The food and beverage and animal feed segments held volume shares of 52% and 41%, respectively, in 2022, largely contributing to the market growth. This was due to Saudi Arabia's high level of product integration and fiercely competitive environment. Companies are strengthening their domestic presence by acquiring small businesses, thereby expanding their protein production units and product portfolios.
  • The rise in active lifestyles in Saudi Arabia is anticipated to increase protein consumption. In 2021, 48.2% of people across Saudi Arabia engaged in physical and sporting activities for at least 30 minutes per day. The consumption of protein in Saudi Arabia accounted for a volume of 8,234.4 tons in 2022. About 50% of physically active people consumed protein supplements in 2020. About 56.1% of active people consume protein supplements to gain muscles, followed by 28.6% of people using protein supplements to compensate for protein deficiency.
  • Iran is the second-largest consumer of protein. Iran is projected to register the fastest CAGR of 8.4% in terms of volume during the forecast period. Plant protein dominated the Iranian market, driven by the demand from the food and beverage and animal feed sectors.
  • The United Arab Emirates is another key protein market in the region, led by soy protein. Soy protein accounted for 55.90% of the value share of the UAE protein market in 2022. Soy protein is primarily driven by the animal feed and food and beverage industries.

Middle East Protein Market Trends

Inclination towards protein rich diet to support growing consumption

  • The graph depicts the per capita consumption of animal protein in countries - Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates. Saudi Arabia is the biggest dairy market, holding more than 70% of the market share in the Middle East. The key factors driving the growth of the animal protein market in the region are the rising demand for dairy ingredients, consumer awareness of a healthy diet, and the keen interest of youngsters in sports and nutrition. Flavors, nutritional values, ease of carrying, and perishable nature are making whey snacks a popular choice for millennials looking for quick snack options for full meals and older people looking for a protein-rich diet.
  • More populations in the Middle East are focusing on sports/performance nutrition and supplements. The growing number of fitness clubs and gyms with personal training and the latest fitness equipment is attracting consumers to these clubs. Around 70% of men over the age of 15 and 67% of women in the United Arab Emirates are obese. Thus, sports nutrition accounted for 70% of consumption, primarily due to the rising obesity across the region.
  • The United Arab Emirates recorded the highest consumption of and demand for collagen-based functional food and beverages. High-protein collagen peptide energy and beauty drinks are gaining popularity in the United Arab Emirates, Tunisia, and Algeria, as they are often seen as substitutes for leisure drinks due to their high caffeine content. The country imports collagen from Japan and Australia, with a high import rate of sheep-based collagen. In Saudi Arabia, research has shown that the consumption of supplements is becoming increasingly popular, particularly among fitness center attendees.
Middle East Protein Market

GCC countries to focus more on increasing production capabilities of milk and meat

  • The graph depicts the production of raw materials such as meat of chickens, meat of pigs with bone, and meat of cattle with bone, fresh or chilled, raw milk of cattle and goats, skim milk of cows, dry, and whey, in the Middle East. The United Arab Emirates produced 164,934 TT of milk in 2020. The country's milk production increased significantly by 2020, rising to 164,934 TT, with an increasing annual rate that peaked in 2009, at 22.05%, before declining to 1.06% in 2020. However, harsh climatic conditions and the infancy of cold chain technology in the region are some restraining factors for the segment.
  • Besides leveraging the latest advancements in dairy farming technology, key herd and farm management techniques are also critical to overcoming these barriers. The lowest prices on dairy products are secured when large volumes are ordered. The growth rate of animal protein increased by 10% in 2020 compared to historical 5 years. Other animal proteins, such as collagen and gelatin, are manufactured using meat and marine industry waste. However, the reputation of slaughterhouses in the Middle East is poor among animal welfare campaigners in the region.
  • Live animal exports to the Middle East have risen steadily over the past two decades, particularly from Europe and Australia. In 2019, Western Australia exported 1.0 million live sheep to nine countries, mostly in the Middle East, worth AUD 136 million. The three largest markets by volume were Kuwait (35%), Qatar (25%), and Jordan (19%), mainly due to the rising demand for meat and dairy products and the rapidly warming climate pressuring the water-stressed nations.

Middle East Protein Industry Segmentation

Animal, Microbial, Plant are covered as segments by Source. Animal Feed, Food and Beverages, Personal Care and Cosmetics, Supplements are covered as segments by End User. Iran, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates are covered as segments by Country.

  • The food and beverage segment led the application of proteins in the region, accounting for a major volume share. The share was highly influenced by the dairy, meat-alternative, and bakery industries, which accounted for 42% of the value share of the overall proteins consumed in the Middle East in 2022. The share is primarily driven by the rising number of vegan and flexitarian consumers who increasingly rely on or are open to animal-free product offerings in the market.
  • This segment is followed by the animal feed segment, which is largely driven by the application of plant proteins. The inclusion of sustainable plant protein sources, mainly soy and wheat proteins, highly drives the segment due to their low cost, excellent digestibility, and neutral flavor profile. Hence, pea protein has opportunities for wide applications in animal feed and is anticipated to be the fastest-growing protein type in the animal feed segment, with a CAGR of 8.8% by volume during the forecast period.
  • The personal care and cosmetics segment is the fastest-growing, with a projected CAGR of 7.12% by value during the forecast period. Proteins are used in a range of cosmetics products, including emulsions, gels, shampoos, conditioners, and creams. Proteins such as collagen, elastin, and keratin are also gaining popularity due to their higher efficacy in naturally strengthening the skin and hair texture. Companies like Estee Lauder, Neu Cosmetics DMCC, and Guerlain are increasingly investing in R&D to develop more effective and sustainable alternative protein sources. This factor is further boosting the ingredient scope and application in personal care products, which may aid the growth of the market in the future.
