Is the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) really a risky market in 2026? Not exactly. While global headlines focus on geopolitical tensions, the Gulf region is telling a different story — one of resilience, growth and increasing strategic relevance. The food & FMCG market is expected to grow by +4.5%, driven by strong infrastructure, advanced logistics and a consumer base that values both quality and consistency.

The future of Foodservice is becoming increasingly hybrid, connected and consumer- driven. At the opening of SIGEP World 2026, the SIGEP Vision Talk brought together international experts to discuss how changing consumer behaviors and global trends are reshaping the industry. Today, eating out must deliver more than convenience: consumers expect experience, authenticity and real value. As traditional boundaries between restaurants, cafés and bakeries blur, hybrid concepts are growing worldwide. However, innovation must remain consistent with strong brand identity. The panel also highlighted India as one of the fastest-growing Foodservice markets, offering new opportunities for international brands. ⁣#SigepWorld #IEGexpo #foodservice ⁣#gelato #pastry #chocolate #bakery #pizza #coffee
