The Saudi Arabia pastries and cakes market is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period, 2025-2031. The increasing demand for quality desserts, a growing number of food outlets, increased tourism activities in the country, increasing disposable incomes, rapid urbanization and a shift towards western eating habits are some of the major factors driving the growth of this market. Additionally, rising preference for convenient snacks and packaged foods due to busy working schedules among consumers has further supplemented market growth. Furthermore, manufacturers have been introducing innovative flavors in their products that cater to various preferences thereby boosting sales in the country??s pastries and cakes market.
There has been an increase in demand for quality desserts such as pastry creams or cake mousses from both global tourists as well as local customers because they appreciate finely crafted desserts made with high-quality ingredients. Apart from these premium offerings that come with luxurious packaging, there is also a rise in demand for traditional Middle Eastern sweets like Baklava which are now available at supermarkets across many cities in Saudi Arabia. The continuous emergence of modern cafe culture along with fine dining restaurants have propelled people spending on readymade food items such as pastries and cakes across Saudi Arabia over recent years. Consequently numerous bakeries have become operational throughout cities such as Riyadh and Jeddah providing consumers many options when it comes to selecting different types of desserts or snack items based on their taste preferences.
Pastry and cake products are usually more expensive than snacks or meals which makes them unaffordable to certain segments of society in Saudi Arabia, thereby limiting their demand among those sections. Consumers in Saudi Arabia tend to have low awareness about healthy food habits, such as avoiding sugar-rich foods like pastries & cakes, leading to lower demand for these products despite their availability in stores across the country. these are some challenges that can hamper the market growth.
The spread of COVID-19 has led to an overall decrease in consumer spending due to reduced income levels resulting from job loss, pay cuts etc., causing tremendous strain on individual finances throughout 2025 as well as 2025 so far; this has resulted in a decline in purchase decisions made by consumers when it comes to luxury items including pastries and cakes due its high pricing compared with other food categories.
