Middle East Chocolate Market Summary

The Middle East chocolate market size was estimated at USD 4.78 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 8.84 billion in 2033, growing at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2025 to 2033. Rising demand for premium and luxury chocolates, expanding retail and e-commerce channels, youthful demographics and gifting culture, health-conscious innovations, and tourism and expatriate population growth are some factors that are driving the industry.

The Middle East market is witnessing strong growth fueled by rising premium and luxury offerings. Consumers in GCC countries such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia are increasingly drawn to artisanal, imported, and high-quality chocolate products that symbolize indulgence and sophistication. Higher disposable incomes, greater exposure to international brands, and an aspiration toward luxury lifestyles drive this trend. Premium chocolates are also perceived as suitable for gifting during festive occasions and corporate events, further enhancing their appeal. As a result, global and regional manufacturers are expanding their premium product portfolios to capture this growing segment.

The rapid development of retail and e-commerce channels has significantly boosted chocolate sales across the Middle East. The growth of modern trade outlets, supermarkets, hypermarkets, and specialty confectionery stores has made diverse chocolate varieties more accessible to consumers. In addition, duty-free outlets at international airports play a crucial role in promoting luxury and gift-oriented chocolate purchases. At the same time, online platforms and food delivery apps are reshaping consumer buying habits by offering convenience, promotional discounts, and a wider assortment of global brands. This omnichannel expansion allows manufacturers to reach new customer segments and strengthen overall regional market penetration.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
