A growing population, a positive post-FIFA effect and increased tourism are facilitating growth in snacks sales in 2024. The resumption in snacking habits in the wake of the pandemic is also boosting the popularity of snacking on the go.
Sales of snacks achieved steady organic growth in 2023 thanks to the resumption of society in the wake of the pandemic. The market was also boosted by growth in tourism and the hosting of global events in the country.
Thanks to a positive post-FIFA World Cup 2022 effect on the country, Qatar has witnessed a considerable boost in tourism and number of visitors to the country. An extension of Hayya card holders with access to the country prolonged its tourism traffic.
Among the wider population of Qatar, various types of snacks are considered an essential part of daily food consumption. It is very common for local residents to eat snacks between main meals, as well as during social gatherings with friends and family.
The opening of new entertainment venues, parks and beaches during the post-pandemic period has provided a boost to snack consumption outside of the home. Since 2023, the population of Qatar has become increasingly interested in socialising in public areas, especially when carnivals, festivals and entertainment events are being hosted.
The forecast period is set to see increasing spending on snacks among local consumers thanks in the main to population growth and increasing numbers of public events. Moreover, the establishment of many new bakeries and confectioners in newly-built residential areas, shopping centres and hotels, with more of these facilities under construction, is set to act as a driving force behind increasing demand for snacks in Qatar.
