The COVID-19 pandemic had a dual impact on the Saudi Arabia Processed Food market. While there was a surge in demand for packaged and shelf-stable foods during lockdowns, the foodservice industry, which is a significant consumer of processed foods, faced disruptions.

However, the retail segment experienced a boost as consumers shifted towards cooking at home.
