FMCG sector in the Middle East and North Africa - statistics & facts
The FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) or Consumer Packed Goods (CPG) industry represents one of the largest industries worldwide. By 2025, the real total consumer spending on food was expected to reach around 8.84 trillion U.S. dollars. In recent years, the MENA region had benefited from rising consumer demands. Particularly, the GCC is attractive for consumer-packaged goods manufacturers, as governments in the GCC are generally stable and accustomed to business interests. In addition, more than 60 free economic zones, known as free zones, provide business incentives that include tax exemptions and modern infrastructure.
