A Statista report highlights the industry’s bright future, projecting that per capita spending in the UAE’s F&B sector will reach approximately $3811 (AED14,000) by 2025. This optimistic outlook positions the UAE as a fertile ground for F&B businesses seeking growth and innovation, as per the statement.
