The Saudi population will continue to rise going into 2040, as fertility rates and life expectancy remain high. Generation Alpha will comprise over a quarter of the population, showing great potential as a key consumer segment. Income inequality will continue to be a challenge, as the gender income gap persists due to low female employment. Consumers are expected to continue preferring niche and goods of the highest quality, even among lower-income segments.
