Expo 2020 is set to increase thenumber of inbound arrivals into the country, boosting both the retail and food services sectors. While the average disposableincome remains high, consumers have become somewhat more price conscious in relation to food and drink spending followingthe introduction of VAT in 2018 and a 'sin tax' in 2017. As the health trend is becoming more prominent among UAE-basedconsumers, we forecast strong growth for low-calorie and more nutritious food and drink products.
