Over in Saudi, some 71% of shoppers reported the same approach. Meanwhile, some 63% of local consumers and 64% of shoppers in Saudi are willing to spend extra for time-saving solutions. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">(<strong>** Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links<\/strong> to our background and outside sources.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The UAE market for fast-moving consumer goods is both broader and more segmented <\/strong><strong>than is Saudi<\/strong>, featuring both affordable and premium brands with notable growth driven by new and innovative premium offerings, the report claims. Over in Saudi, the market leans toward mainstream FMCG brands with a concentration in the mid-tier segment, leading to fewer brands in the market. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Tech + durable goods:<\/strong> The Kingdom saw a 4% annual increase in the sales of premium tech and durable products, compared to a 2% increase in the UAE. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Beverages, frozen food, and dairy are dominating the FMCG sector here at home and in <\/strong><strong>Saudi<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> Owing to their necessity, convenience, and growing consumer demand, these categories have seen consistent performance. On the other hand, the drop in categories such as home care, baby care, and paper products is linked to changing lifestyles and a growing preference for online shopping.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The spin<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> \u201cThe UAE's diverse population and differences in disposable income have created a polarized FMCG market. Affordable brands resonate with price-sensitive consumers, while premium brands attract those prioritizing quality and luxury, said Andrey Dvoychenkov, NielsenIQ general manager for the Arabian Peninsula and Pakistan. When it comes to tech and durable goods, \u201cthe industry is rapidly expanding in both regions, marked by a significant rise in active brands and products,\u201d Dvoychenkov added. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UAE market for fast-moving consumer goods is broader and more segmented than is Saudi Arabia\u2019s<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":95454,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","ep_exclude_from_search":false,"_primary_brand":0,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1808],"tags":[1205,7,642,1518],"brand":[],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"class_list":["post-95453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-retail","tag-ecommerce","tag-enterpriseam-uae","tag-retail","tag-shopping","wpautop","entry"],"acf":{"mongo_id":"7ed2b8d2-cff1-4761-bb5f-fcb12ae7739d","order":"9","is_powered_by":false,"story_type":"1","photo_url":"https:\/\/ent.news\/2024\/7\/963.jpg","photo_position":"above","homepage_title":"","full_issue_title":"UAE consumers\u2019 shopping behavior show preference for quality, convenience, big household names","related_issue":[95437],"teaser":"The UAE market for fast-moving consumer goods is broader and more segmented than is Saudi Arabia\u2019s","voice_url":"https:\/\/s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/ent.news\/audio\/2024\/9\/.ba301231-c0ee-44ee-8430-dd78094b288b.mp3"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
