Voice of the Consumer 2024: Regional findings

As technology rapidly changes every industry, PwC's Consumer Markets sector brings an in-depth understanding of industry dynamics, extensive experience along the entire value chain and broad functional capabilities. We’re helping businesses evolve and thrive in a changing world.
In 2025, the way we eat is becoming a mirror of broader personal, societal and environmental values. Our latest survey, Voice of the Consumer 2025: Middle East findings, uncovers a deep and complex transformation in consumer food habits - revealing a new era of heightened “concern” around rising food costs, food waste, health, ethics and sustainability.
In the Middle East region, much like many other parts of the world, shoppers are also feeling the economic pressure and responding pragmatically - trading down to discount brands, purchasing in bulk, and seeking greater value through promotions. Concerns over the environment and climate change are prevalent, but when it comes to saving the planet or saving money, short-term financial priorities are taking precedence - consumers are more focused on saving money than saving the planet.
