Increase in the number of QSRs and rise in demand for fast food to fuel the market growth

Chains like KFC, McDonald's, Popeyes, Jollibee, Pizza Hut, and Domino's have a large footprint in the country.

- The total number of quick service restaurants reached around 10,300 restaurants in 2022, increasing by more than 1,000 restaurants since 2017. This was due to the increasing number of orders per outlet, which reached 31,000 in 2022 after having slightly declined due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused many restaurants to close. The United Arab Emirates is a big fast food consumer, and around 5 million people consumed fast food on a weekly basis in 2022.
- By cuisine, pizza is forecast to be the fastest-growing cuisine type, with a growing CAGR value of 21.03% during the forecast period (2023-2029). This was owing to the high number of international arrivals, which crossed over 14.36 million in 2022. Meat-based cuisines are recording high demand in the country, with consumption reaching around 445,000 tonnes in 2022. Products like fried chicken, chicken wings, meatballs, shawarma, kebab, and other BBQ dishes are highly consumed by both national residents and immigrants in the country. The top quick service chains, such as Albaik, KFC, Texas Chicken, Jollibee, Pickl, Chicken Cottage, Popeye's, and SFC Plus, offer a wide range of meat-based cuisines.
