WELCOME MESSAGE
Dear colleagues, Once again, it gives us immense pleasure to address the global food and beverage industry insiders and share the industry’s decisive developments and insights through the Gulfood Global Industry Outlook Report. There is a growing sense of anticipation and apprehension surrounding the global outlook right now. Demographic shifts like urbanisation, migration and the burgeoning middle class have reshaped consumer lifestyles and effectively, global demand. While innovation has become the turning point for most businesses and sub-industries. Regardless the trends clearly convey one thing: growth opportunities are spread across the globe, with different food sectors rising faster in different regions. For instance, Meat & Poultry and Seafood show the highest potential with an expected 5.2% CAGR from now until 2023 in the Middle East and North Africa region, while in the Sub-Saharan Africa, Pulses, Grains & Cereals top the list with a 5.1% CAGR. Asia Pacific, in turn, sees amazing opportunities for Fats & Oils – with a growth of 8.3%, well above global average for this category. Gulfood 2019 has been designed to unite all these regional opportunities in one truly global extravaganza. From the first-ever battle of culinary crafts, featuring over 20 award-winning chefs from around the world, to three full days of profound knowledge-sharing through keynotes, panel discussions and case-study presentations; from over 5,000 food and beverage companies and startups to innovative processing techniques, there is an immense volume of business learnings, opportunities and experiences hosted across the five days of the event. Truly one of the most important five days of the year to help you set your strategies for 2019. With the hope you make the most of your time at Gulfood 2019, please accept our warmest welcome.
Best regards,
Mark Napier
