INTRODUCTION
1 Introduction
1.1 What is this Report About?
This report is the result of Canadean’s extensive market research covering the Packaged Food in Saudi
Arabia. It provides detailed historic and forecast sales data of the category along with market segmentation
of Food & Grocery.
1.2 Definitions
All research is conducted in local currency in nominal prices. US dollar conversions for all historic data and
for the latest year of actual data (2011 in this report) are made using an annual average exchange rate. As
we do not forecast exchange rates, the forecast data (from 2012 to 2016) is converted using a fixed 2011
exchange rate. As a result, annual growth rates for historic data will differ between local currencies and US
dollar conversions, whereas they will be the same for forecasts.
The key channels featured in the report are defined below:
