Sweets Middle East provides an ideal environment due to a market with a traditional sweet tooth. The sharing of sweets and confectionery is very much part of local custom. Furthermore the young and fast growing population (e.g. 70 % of the Saudi Arabians are under 30 and 50 % of UAE nationals are under 16 years of age) opens many opportunities to reach new customers. The Middle East is heavily reliant on imports, with 90 % of the food requirements being imported. The value of potential business is demonstrated by the fact that consumption of chocolate accounts for annual sales of USD 4.2 billion. Dubai´s position as the region´s trading hub makes Sweets Middle East your strategic entry point to the Middle East and North Africa.
