The catering and external event services sector in Saudi Arabia has been witnessing significant growth, driven by economic and social transformations under Saudi Vision 2030. This growth reflects the rising demand for organizing events and celebrations, whether for companies or individuals, along with the expansion of domestic and international tourism. According to a report by MarkNtel Advisors, the catering market in Saudi Arabia was valued at approximately three billion five hundred sixty million US dollars in 2024 and is expected to reach around five billion two hundred sixty million dollars by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of about 8.12 percent. Another report by TechSci Research projects that the market could reach around twelve billion seven hundred forty million dollars by 2030, up from seven billion five hundred ten million dollars in 2024, representing a compound annual growth rate of 9.21 percent. In the institutional or B2B catering sector, this segment accounts for more than seventy-eight percent of the total market, while the construction sector alone contributes over seventeen percent of revenues, according to Astute Analytica. The sector's growth is attributed to the increasing number of companies and institutions relying on external catering services, the expansion of infrastructure and industrial projects, and the thriving events and celebrations market. There is also a growing trend toward specialized meals, including vegetarian, gluten-free, and organic options, reflecting changing consumer preferences rather than just market size growth. Today, catering has become a central part of the economic and social service ecosystem in the Kingdom, offering substantial growth opportunities, while success depends on providing innovative, high-quality, and flexible services to meet the diverse needs of clients.
