Middle East Gelato Market Summary
The Middle East gelato market was valued at approximately USD 225.1 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 394.9 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2025 to 2033. Growth is driven by the region's hot climate, rising disposable incomes, and increasing demand for premium and artisanal desserts.
Gelato's smooth texture, rich flavor, and authentic Italian heritage have positioned it as a refined alternative to traditional ice cream. The expansion of tourism, urbanization, and a diverse consumer base in markets such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia continues to boost consumption across retail and foodservice channels. The rise of boutique parlors and global franchises has further enhanced product accessibility and brand visibility in major cities.
The region's evolving consumer landscape reflects a growing interest in health-conscious indulgence and natural ingredients. A rising number of consumers are opting for low-sugar, dairy-free, and vegan gelato variants that align with balanced and sustainable lifestyles. This shift is most evident among younger and urban populations who actively seek desserts that combine rich flavor with functional nutrition. In response, regional and global producers are reformulating their offerings with clean-label ingredients, natural sweeteners, and plant-based alternatives without compromising taste or texture. Locally inspired flavor innovations, such as dates, rose water, pistachios, and Arabic coffee (gahwa), are gaining traction, helping brands connect with regional tastes while maintaining artisanal authenticity
Ongoing innovation and international brand expansion continue to shape the market landscape. For instance, in April 2024, Venchi, in partnership with Azadea Group, launched its iconic Chocogelateria concept in Dubai, UAE, expanding its luxury chocolate and gelato retail presence across the region. Such developments reflect the rising appeal of experiential dessert formats that combine indulgence with premium craftsmanship. The growing presence of international franchises and homegrown artisanal brands through modern retail and online delivery platforms is enhancing product reach and consumer engagement.
