Saudi Arabia malt beverages market Synopsis
Saudi Arabia malt beverages market is undergoing robust expansion, fueled by major structural shifts in tourism, hospitality, and consumer behavior. The Kingdom’s strategic focus on non-alcoholic alternatives, due to cultural and regulatory constraints on alcohol, has created a unique opportunity for malt beverages to flourish as socially acceptable lifestyle products. The rise of global hospitality players, such as Marriott and Hilton, and the licensing of accommodation facilities have increased demand for premium beverages in hotels, cafés, and dining venues. This has directly contributed to the growing popularity of flavored and zero-alcohol malt drinks.
In addition, mega-projects such as NEOM, Red Sea Global, and Qiddiya, along with high-profile events such as the 2025 Formula 1 Grand Prix and the 2034 FIFA World Cup, are accelerating food and beverage consumption across the Kingdom. International brands such as Holsten, Moussy (Carlsberg), Heineken, and Barbican (Aujan Group Holding) are expanding their product portfolios to cater to evolving preferences. As the number of hospitality venues and retail distribution points continues to rise paired with a young, health-conscious population the demand for non-alcoholic malt beverages is expected to sustain long-term growth across Saudi Arabia.
According to 6wresearch, the Saudi Arabia malt beverages market is projected to experience growth at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2025 to 2031, driven by the increasing demand for non-alcoholic, culturally acceptable beverages amid rising health consciousness and evolving consumer preferences. In 2023, the market reached high in volume, supported by a significant rise in per capita consumption of non-alcoholic beverages such as energy drinks. This growth is further strengthened by Saudi Arabia Vision 2030, which focuses on expanding retail and hospitality infrastructure, coupled with a notable increase in food and beverage spending by 2025.
Specifically, spending on non-alcoholic beverages is estimated to rise during this period. Additionally, the recent approval of the first alcohol outlet in Riyadh’s diplomatic quarter in 2024 indicates a potential shift in policy that may lead to broader acceptance and availability of low- and non-alcohol beverages in high-traffic venues. International and regional brands such as Barbican (Aujan), Moussy and Holsten (Carlsberg), and Heineken are well-positioned to capitalize on this shift, expanding their product offerings and distribution channels to align with the Kingdom’s evolving lifestyle preferences and modernization goals.
