Growth Drivers

Rising Demand for Animal Meat-Based Products

Saudi Arabia is one of the biggest per capita meat consumers in the world. In 2020, the nation produced 900,000 mt of chicken meat, which made up 60% of domestic consumption and was estimated to be 1.55 mmt/year. The country imports most of its meat from Brazil and other countries to meet its high demand for animal meat. Therefore, to reduce their import burden, the Saudi Ministry of Environment Water and Agriculture (MEWA) is urging local farmers to dramatically expand production under its Saudi Vision 2030 goal. With rising demand for animal meat and expanding livestock farming in the country, the Saudi Arabia livestock grow lights market is projected to flourish during the forecast period.

Restraints

Lack of Awareness among Farmers

The grow lights are an up-and-coming technology, which has a limited presence in Saudi Arabia. The livestock industry is mainly dominated by small local farmers whose business is limited to their city. This limits the wide adoption of grow lights in Saudi Arabia as these local farmers are not well equipped to use these advanced technologies or put them to their efficient use. This may restrict the growth of the overall Saudi Arabia livestock grow lights market.

Impact of COVID -19 on Saudi Arabia Livestock Grow Lights Market

The COVID-19 outbreak had a detrimental effect on the market for livestock grow lights in Saudi Arabia. Since coronavirus is a zoonotic illness, Saudi Arabia's intake of animal meat has substantially decreased, causing the livestock farming industry to suffer enormous losses. Farmers' ability to purchase goods was impacted, which had a direct impact on their decision to invest in innovative equipment like grow lights. Additionally, because to the lockdown, there is a scarcity of grow light equipment, like as LED bulbs, due to restrictions on supply and demand.
