Dublin, Oct. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "Saudi Arabia Coffee Retail Chains Market Size and Share - Growth Analysis Report and Forecast Trends (2026-2035)" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The Saudi Arabia coffee retail chains market was valued at USD 581.97 million in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 1.01 billion by 2035. The market is forecast to expand at a CAGR of 5.70% between 2026 and 2035, supported by the growing presence of premium, specialty, and lifestyle-oriented coffee shops across the Kingdom.
Market growth is being shaped by the combined demand for premium coffee experiences and convenient service formats. Consumers are increasingly seeking specialty blends, artisan beverages, single-origin coffee, and distinctive cafe environments. At the same time, drive-thru locations, mobile ordering, smart pickup areas, kiosks, and ready-to-go products are enabling operators to serve commuters, professionals, and digitally connected customers more efficiently.
Key Market Insights
- The take-away category is projected to record a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period. Mobile apps, kiosks, loyalty platforms, and online ordering systems are improving convenience, operational efficiency, and customer engagement. Immersive store designs, lifestyle-themed interiors, and in-store events are strengthening brand loyalty and supporting repeat visits. Premium beverages, locally tailored menus, and specialty coffee formats are helping retailers differentiate their brands. Expansion into airports, transport hubs, secondary cities, and high-traffic urban locations is creating new revenue opportunities.
Digital cafe models are becoming increasingly important within the Saudi Arabia coffee retail chains market. In September 2024, Drinkit introduced app-based ordering, smart pickup areas, customizable beverages, and ready-to-go specialty drinks. The company's planned expansion across the Kingdom demonstrates how technology-led formats can improve service speed while supporting scalable retail operations.
The ready-to-drink coffee category is also expanding through chilled beverages, packaged coffee products, and grab-and-go merchandise. These products allow retailers to extend consumption beyond traditional cafe visits and appeal to customers with busy schedules. In September 2024, NESCAFE introduced RTD cold coffee in Saudi Arabia, broadening the availability of convenient, high-quality coffee products.
Premium Cafe and Retail Expansion
Recent store openings reflect strong demand for premium and experiential coffee concepts. In February 2026, Bacha Coffee expanded its operations in Riyadh and Beijing, offering more than 200 specialty Arabica blends alongside immersive cafe experiences.

Earlier, 45degrees expanded its drive-thru cafe network across Riyadh in March 2023, strengthening access to globally sourced specialty coffee through convenience-focused locations.
The dine-in segment continues to generate substantial market revenue as operators invest in atmospheric interiors, hand-crafted social spaces, curated beverage menus, and premium product launches. Peet's Coffee expanded its Riyadh presence in August 2023 with stores in Al Munsiyah and Sheikh Jaber. In October 2025, Nonda Coffee opened a single-origin coffee shop in Riyadh, reinforcing the role of product specialization in premium dine-in growth.

Multi-sector investment is also strengthening Saudi Arabia's coffee ecosystem. In February 2025, Saudi Coffee Company signed seven MOUs at the PIF Private Sector Forum to expand production, distribution, and innovation capabilities. Such agreements reflect the coffee industry's growing contribution to economic diversification and the Kingdom's non-oil economy.
Cross-industry partnerships are introducing Saudi coffee to new customer environments. In August 2025, Riyadh Air partnered with Saudi Coffee Company to serve premium Saudi coffee onboard flights and in airport lounges. During the same month, Lagardere Travel Retail introduced its So! Coffee brand at Madinah Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport, highlighting the potential of travel hubs as high-visibility retail locations.
Product diversification and improved logistics are further supporting market competitiveness.
