SIAL Middle East to kick off on 10 December
The $130 billion GCC F&B and flight catering market has witnessed robust growth

Mubasher: The ninth edition of SIAL Middle East 2018 will be held during the period from 10 to 12 December 2018 in Abu Dhabi, according to a press release on Monday.

SIAL Middle East 2018 will feature country pavilions of Kuwait, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia to highlight a growing interest from the Gulf countries so they can benefit from the sizeable opportunities created by the fastest-growing food, beverage, and hospitality event in the region.

In partnership with Abu Dhabi Food Control Authority (ADFCA), this year’s edition will feature over 1,000 exhibitors and is expected to draw the participation of more than 20,000 industry experts from over 50 countries.

“The $130 billion GCC F&B and flight catering market has witnessed robust growth over the past years, driven by a youthful population, burgeoning middle class, high disposable incomes and rising inbound tourist numbers. With the region seeking to diversify its revenue streams away from oil and gas, the food and beverage industry has emerged as one of the most promising sectors that significantly contribute to sustainable economic development,” according to the statement.
