Food Distribution Becomes Indispensable for Leading Food Brands in the UAE
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is one of the fastest-growing global markets for FMCG products. There are several leading global food brands and manufacturers who are steadily pursuing higher market share in the region. This is one of the top regions in the Middle East and is the gateway to several lucrative markets as well. Dubai, for instance, is one of the most profitable and high-volume markets for FMCG companies. This explains the high number of FMCG distribution companies in UAE who also have a major presence in Dubai. The key reason behind the proliferation of global FMCG brands, food products and distributors alike can be traced to evolving customer preferences. Dubai and the UAE in general, has always been a cosmopolitan society with a high expat population and people from all walks of life and several countries living here in harmony. Additionally, tourism has been a major growth driver for the region.
Taking all these factors into account, global companies have witnessed rapidly changing customer preferences in this segment across the UAE. This is why the top food distribution companies prefer investing in this market since there is high-volume business to be done here. Retail growth is another encouraging factor for food distributors and brands. The retail sector has grown exponentially and several supermarket chains and retail stores have been doing extremely well over the years here. All these aspects combined make the food distribution business rewarding yet highly competitive in the UAE. While consumers in the region prefer the finest food brands from across the world, the major challenge for several of these brands is getting ample shelf space or distribution along with proper storage and warehousing.
This is where a conglomerate like Al Maya Group solves the problem with aplomb. The Group takes care of warehousing, storage and logistics through its distribution division named Al Maya Distribution. At the same time, the retail and trading end of the business is overseen by another group concern, Al Maya Trading, which ensures that products are smoothly distributed across leading retailers and supermarket chains. The company offers more than 1 million sq. ft. of warehousing space, cutting-edge WMS (warehouse management system) technologies and impeccable logistics and transportation services with more than 100 vehicles. Al Maya Group has successfully brought more than 50 leading food brands from across the globe to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) over the years.
