Sports nutrition in Saudi Arabia is demonstrating a resilient and expanding profile, anticipated to achieve SAR153 million in retail sales in 2026 and maintaining solid 5% current value growth despite modest real GDP expansion of 1%. This environment is characterised by a notable shift from athlete-focused consumption to more widespread adoption among women, older adults, and recreational users, as both protein and creatine products become part of daily health routines. The attractiveness of this space is reinforced by rising health consciousness, growing participation in recreational fitness, and a forecast CAGR of 6% through to 2031, signalling continued momentum and opportunity for businesses able to adapt to evolving consumer expectations. Success will depend on leveraging convenient formats, targeted product innovation, robust e-commerce strategies, and educational initiatives to address the needs of an increasingly diverse audience seeking solutions for healthy ageing, muscle recovery, and holistic wellbeing.
