In the UAE, the baby rice cracker market is witnessing a healthy CAGR of 6.8% during the 2025–2030 period, supported by a high per capita income, a multicultural demographic, and increasing demand for premium, nutritious baby food. The growing expatriate population has led to diverse dietary preferences, pushing demand for rice crackers that are vegan, organic, and allergen-friendly. Strict government food safety regulations serve as both a quality enhancer and a barrier to entry for smaller foreign players. Despite a relatively small population, the high spending capacity compensates through premium product purchases. Opportunities lie in niche categories like superfood-infused crackers and Arabic-flavored variants tailored for cultural appeal. A key trend is the prominence of online shopping and subscription-based delivery of baby snacks, which provides convenience for busy, tech-savvy parents in the region.
