Saudi Arabia Food Service Pasta Market Trends & Drivers:
Rising eating‑out culture and the broader boom in Saudi foodservice are giving pasta a strong push across quick‑service, casual, and premium restaurant formats. With foodservice revenues at around USD 29 billion and Saudis spending over 20% of their income on food, diners are eating out and ordering in more frequently, which naturally favors versatile menu items like pasta that work in both value combos and premium dishes. Average per‑capita income close to USD 28,900 also supports higher discretionary spend on dining experiences, so operators are expanding pasta lines, from creamy fettuccine and baked penne to kids’ meals and shareable platters, to capture a bigger share of growing on‑premise and delivery traffic.
Another big tailwind is the internationalization of Saudi dining under Vision 2030, which is attracting Italian brands, themed festivals, and fine‑dining concepts that heavily feature pasta. The national push to reach 150 million annual visitors is driving mega‑projects like NEOM, Red Sea, and Diriyah, each packed with global restaurant franchises and chef‑driven Italian kitchens where pasta is a hero category. New Italian openings like PASTAMAMMA in Riyadh Park and modern trattorias in the capital are placing fresh pasta and fusion dishes center stage, while campaigns such as LuLu’s Italian Food Festival highlight imported Italian pasta, sauces, and olive oils, nudging consumers toward more premium, authentic pasta experiences in food courts, hotels, and upscale cafés.
On the product side, foodservice operators are leaning into variety, health, and value, which is reshaping how pasta shows up on Saudi menus. Pasta already generates over USD 1 billion in retail revenue locally, and foodservice players tap that familiarity by offering everything from creamy classics to whole‑wheat, gluten‑free, and high‑protein options tailored for younger, more health‑aware diners. Menu analytics from leading chains show that pasta is now a staple sub‑category alongside pizza and combo meals, with prices kept relatively stable through the first half of 2024 to maintain affordability, even as other food categories saw noticeable increases. This balance of indulgent and “better‑for‑you” pasta dishes, combined with steady pricing, makes pasta a reliable traffic driver for both mainstream and premium foodservice brands across the Kingdom.
