The Middle East & Africa Flavors & Fragrances Market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.75% during the forecast period.
Middle-East food manufacturing and processing sector witnessed rapid growth in the past ten years. The strong support from the government, direct subsidies, long-term interest-free loans, duty-free imports of raw materials, and highly subsided utilities are the factors that prompted the industries to enter the food ingredients market. Moreover, the increase in demand for different flavorings, high demand for authentic and natural flavorings, change in lifestyle, and increased demand for healthy and natural food flavorings coupled with an increase in the research and innovation by the manufacturers and expansion of the food industry is driving the flavor and fragrance market.
The rapid growth of the food processing sector provides good export opportunities for the U.S. suppliers of bulk and intermediate products, as most of these Middle-East companies rely heavily on imported raw materials and food ingredients, including food flavors. As some flavors are country and region-specific, the manufacturers are constantly innovating to introduce new products in the market to capture the major market share. However, due to the presence of limited natural resources to extract flavors, new entrants often face challenges in the flavor industry.

The population of the Middle East and Africa is at high risk of obesity, which is one of the leading avoidable causes of death in the region. Many are opting for healthy options, such as vegetarianism and veganism, to avoid obesity. The unceasing innovation and developments in the flavor market have been tapping the emerging food and beverage industries. Plant-derived vegan flavors in the food ingredients market have emerged as a boon for businesses dedicating operations to vegan products. Moreover, the rising vegan population in the countries remains the primary factor boosting the market studied. Growing consumer preference for natural flavors over artificial flavors due to associated health risk with artificial flavors as it contains chemicals.
Moreover, RTE (ready-to-eat) products such as instant noodles, ice creams, and soups are a few of the most vulnerable food cuisines to be experimented with based on flavors. For instance, the key player in the market, Symrise offers distinct culinary flavors for products like soups and bouillons, ready meals, sauces and dressing, processed meat, instant noodles, and alternative protein products.

According to the Saudi Dairy and Foodstuff Company, in 2021, the sales volume of ice cream reached around 48 million liters.
Saudi Arabia is among the region's largest confectionery markets, indicating a potential market growth for flavors and fragrances in the country. Further, the change in consumer preference for confectioneries is primarily led by experiential consumer demand, as consumers want to discover something new and different is leading to more unusual and often bolder flavors and blends, surprise textures, and a greater focus on visual appeal in the sweets, and snacks products, hence encouraging confectionery manufacturers to innovate in the flavor ingredients category to more consumer base.
