GCC food delivery – how far have we come? It is always good to step back and see how the market has evolved over extended periods of time. In 2019, online food delivery was ~$3Bn or 6% of food services market. COVID was not something that we knew. But what we were seeing is high level of consumer willingness to order food online. We also had relatively strong food delivery players. Our proprietary model forecasted GCC online food delivery to reach $12Bn in 2023 – that is ~40% CAGR! Fast forward: In 2023, online food delivery market stood slightly above our forecast of $12Bn i.e. 20% of GCC food service spend is now online. Did Covid play a role? It definitely did! Majority of growth got front loaded to 2020/21 Did all GCC countries grew as per our forecasts? Not really – 1)     UAE grew in line with our forecasts 2)     KSA grew almost 20% higher than our forecasts 3)     Rest of GCC grew slightly slower than our forecasts Is there still growth left in GCC? Well, not at the lofty 40% historical growth but the market grew by 20% in 2024 and we continue to see tailwinds over a longer period.

Sandeep Ganediwalla, Managing Partner at Redseer Middle East, recently attended a topical panel discussion hosted by HSBC, featuring industry leaders who shared valuable insights on the opportunities in the #KSA hyperlocal food and grocery delivery sector. The discussion featured Filippo Sgattoni, CEO of Alamar, master franchisee for Domino's in the region, and Heni Jallouli, CFO of Jahez International Company, a leading online food delivery platform in Saudi Arabia. The conversation explored the region’s unique market dynamics, emphasizing how digital transformation continues to drive growth and innovation. A key focus was on the evolving nature of consumer behavior, questioning whether recent shifts are permanent and highlighting the importance of agility. Expanding beyond food delivery into grocery and other hyperlocal services was emphasized as a strategic priority, with Saudi Arabia’s hyperlocal potential offering significant opportunities for scale and innovation. Thank you to HSBC and Ankur Agarwal, CFA for hosting and to the panelists for such an engaging and insightful discussion. #MENA #SaudiArabia #Hyperlocal #OnlineDelivery #FoodDelivery #Ecommerce #GroceryTrends #Innovation #Alamar #Jahez #Redseer #HSBC

We were thrilled to host Anil Kumar, CEO of Redseer Strategy Consultants, during his recent visit to our Middle East team in #Dubai.   The visit provided an excellent opportunity for catchups between the #India and #Dubai teams. Watching our talented consultants show off their bowling skills was a highlight, though some of us definitely need more practice!   These moments of connection beyond the boardroom help build the collaborative culture that makes #Redseer special. 🎳
