The coffee beans and coffee market in Saudi Arabia is one of the Kingdom’s most dynamic and fastest-growing sectors. Saudi Arabia ranks among the top 10 coffee-consuming countries in Asia, with the domestic market reaching approximately SAR 3 billion in 2025, up from SAR 1.4 billion in 2021, representing a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 20.7%. This growth has been driven by rising coffee consumption, as coffee remains an integral part of daily culture across the Kingdom.

According to Argaam estimates, the market is expected to reach SAR 3.4 billion in 2026, rising to SAR 5.4 billion in 2028 and reaching SAR 7.9 billion by 2030, reflecting a CAGR of 21.2% over the 2026-2030 period.

This growing demand reflects the importance of developing the domestic coffee sector, as the Kingdom is working to strengthen Arabica coffee cultivation through the expansion of 60 model coffee farms in rural and mountainous agricultural areas. This move aims to increase local production rates, support food security, and empower farmers by improving agricultural and processing practices, contributing to sustainability, and enhancing the added value of the national product.

As part of efforts to transform Saudi Arabia into a regional hub for coffee production and exports, the Government has launched major initiatives to strengthen local production, with 2022 officially declared “The Year of Saudi Coffee” in recognition of the coffee’s national significance.

Furthermore, the Public Investment Fund (PIF) established the Saudi Coffee Company in 2022 with a capital of approximately SAR 1.2 billion over 10 years, aiming to increase annual production from around 300 tons to 2,500 tons by 2030.

This supportive environment, coupled with growing domestic demand and shifting consumer preferences toward diversity and quality, opens promising investment opportunities. The significant expansion in cafés and coffee shops reflects Saudi consumers’ increasing interest in new coffee varieties and café lifestyle, creating opportunities for investment in specialized local roasteries, modern cafés, and integrated logistics solutions. In addition, the Kingdom’s substantial logistics infrastructure provides an additional advantage in attracting global coffee distribution networks.

The coffee beans and coffee market in Saudi Arabia is a sector with promising prospects, anchored in a strong cultural foundation and reinforced by growing government support and a clear vision for sustainable investment, making it an attractive destination for investors and decision-makers seeking long-term opportunities to diversify the economy and strengthen national value.
