The populace of Saudi Arabia has more discretionary money as a result of the country's consistent economic growth. The market of luxury & expensive products, including ice cream, increases as well as consumers' purchasing ability. The consumption of food and snacks from convenience stores has increased as a result of changes in lifestyle, particularly in urban regions. As a popular dessert, ice cream fits well with this trend.

Seasonal Demand and Climate Sensitivity

Demand for ice cream can be very seasonal, even though Saudi Arabia's hot environment normally encourages its consumption.

Changes to the temperature control system may cause the product to malfunction, increasing the costs for manufacturers and distributors. The industry is unable to grow consistently throughout the year due to these challenges.

Health Issues and Nutritional Preferences

Growing health and wellness consciousness is making many consumers concerned of ice cream's excessive fat and sugar levels. The pattern is more noticeable among middle-aged and metropolitan populations, that are choosing healthier dessert substitutes like low-sugar or frozen yogurt, Additionally, many Saudi Arabians adhere to specific dietary requirements due to conditions like diabetes, which limits their consumption of conventional ice cream products. For conventional ice cream companies that are sluggish to adjust, the move toward plant-based or low-calorie choices may provide difficulties.
