Competitive Landscape

Al Rabie AlSaudia Dairy led juice with a 16% value share and 15% volume share (off-trade) in 2013. The company enjoys a strong position in 100% juice, in which it held a 26% volume share in 2013. The company locks in consumers by offering multi-pack promotions and other in-store activities throughout the year. Mothers in particular are interested in small 200ml packs of juice, as they make good lunchbox items, and therefore are attracted by the offer of multipacks. Finally, a strong distribution network, which ensures the timely supply of its products across all retail channels, helped the company to maintain its position as the leader in juice in 2013.

Industry Prospects

As Saudi society undergoes changes, via embracing more modern and Western lifestyles, consumers are expected to incorporate various new habits into their daily lives, with the introduction of health and fitness regimes being amongst them. Women in particular are expected to lead on this front, as they are the part of society which is fast emerging, with the highest internet penetration and enrolment in higher education. They are also expected to increase in number in the workforce, as now the government is encouraging more Saudi women to take up jobs. This exposure to various knowledge streams will lead to better understanding of the importance of leading healthier lifestyles, which these women will try to incorporate into their family life, focusing on healthy meals. They are expected to pay more attention to the ingredients in the products they choose for their families, especially children, selecting those with the highest nutritional value and avoiding fatty and sugary items. This trend will eventually have a profound effect on various categories, including juice.
