Average 4.8, Expatriate household size 2.7 members) as per the recent database of Saudi Arabia

levels, and changing attitudes towards spending amongst families are expected to back the growth
of spending on food and beverages in general and clean bottled water in particular.

3. TOURISM
• Tourism is an important component of Saudi Arabia's economic growth, where both religious and
non-religious activities have significant potential for expansion. With the rising influx of both
local and foreign tourists in tourist centers especially in Makkah and Madina, it is expected to
increase the consumption of treated water, i.e., bottled water, in the country. Due to the increasing
tourism in the country, the foodservice channels, such as hotels and restaurants, are increasing in
Saudi Arabia.
• To offer quality service to the tourist, contributes to the high share of sales in bottled water,
primarily from the still-bottled water segment. According to the Ministry of Tourism Saudi Arabia
data from 2022, 16 million tourists stayed in hotels in Saudi Arabia. Owing to significant growth
in the tourism industry, companies manufacturing bottled water in Saudi Arabia are developing
and marketing various sizes of bottled water, which can be conveniently carried by users.
