High demand for traditional cuisines has led to the growth of Middle Eastern Cuisines

  • Middle Eastern cuisine held the largest market share in 2022 and is projected to register a CAGR of 17.94% during the forecast period. The sales value of Middle Eastern cuisine increased by 56.32% from 2020 to 2022. This is primarily because Middle Eastern cuisine is known for its healthy and nutritious ingredients such as grains, legumes, vegetables, and lean meats. There is an increasing demand for Middle Eastern food as a healthy eating option that balances flavors and nutrients in the United Arab Emirates as people there become more health conscious.
  • Asian cuisine is the second leading cuisine type and is projected to register a CAGR of 18.94%, by value, during the forecast period. Asian foods, especially Japanese, Chinese, and Thai, have long been popular among UAE citizens, residents, and visitors. As more Chinese, Japanese, Malaysian, and Korean expats move there, the country is drawing an increasing number of tourists from Asia and other parts of the world, many of whom enjoy Asian food. In 2023, the total expat population in the country accounted for 9.1 million, of which 60% are of Asian origin. Asian cuisine is perceived as exotic, making it a popular choice among tourists visiting the United Arab Emirates.
  • The sales value of Latin American cuisine increased by 60.13% from 2020 to 2022. High-end Argentinian steakhouses like Asado, Gaucho, and La Parrilla have been in the country for a long time. Taco bars have begun to appear in recent years, with El Mostacho in JLT, Maiz Tacos in Al Safa, and El Noctambulo in D3 being the popular brands.

United Arab Emirates Full Service Restaurants Market Trends

Middle Eastern and Asian cuisines dominate UAE full service restaurants, driven by large ex-pat populations

  • The number of full service restaurants in the UAE was 3,158 outlets in 2022. The figure is expected to grow at a moderate pace, registering 6.93% during the study period. The growth is attributed to the increasing dining out frequency among local residents and tourists. Middle Eastern cuisine accounted for a major share (43.02%) of the market in 2022. This is attributed to the increased expatriate population from countries such as Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and Egypt, where the cuisine is considered a staple food, and local traditional cuisines such as hummus, falafel, tabbouleh, and kebabs, are observed to be popular not only among the natives but also the international tourists visiting the country.
  • Middle Eastern cuisine is followed by Asian cuisine, with a market share of 29.58%, by value, in 2022, majorly driven by the large group of Asian expats residing in the country for employment purposes. In 2022, the total expat population in the country accounted for 8.92 million, of which 60% were of Asian origin. Among Asians, as of 2022, Indians formed the largest expatriate community in the United Arab Emirates, at 36.1%, followed by Bangladeshis at 9.1%, Pakistanis at 8.8%, Filipinos at 5.9%, and Sri Lankans at 3.08%.

This is largely due to the demand for full service options from international visitors. ​​
  • The demand for full service restaurants is expected to increase due to changes in consumer behavior and demand for local cuisines.
