2026 Developments
Snacks in Oman is set to achieve modest but resilient growth in 2026, outperforming neighbouring markets challenged by higher inflation and retail disruption. The environment is increasingly attractive due to stable consumer demand, minimal inflationary pressures, and robust retail activity, particularly as modern trade and e-commerce expand their reach. Local and regional brands are rapidly gaining ground, driven by consumer preference for products that align with cultural values, affordability, and health considerations, while global brands are losing prominence. Companies that tailor their offerings to local tastes, invest in digital channels, and prioritise innovation in health, packaging, and sourcing are best positioned to capture loyalty and drive sustained growth in an evolving, value-driven landscape.
