MENA Region Restaurant/food Consumption Data

Hi all,

I’m involved in a food project in the Middle East – specifically Iraq/Kuwait. I was wondering if you know any good market research tools/websites/resources/reports on these countries/Middle East region – specifically related to restaurants/food/franchises/what works vs. what doesn’t etc. Or things like average spend per person etc. The closer it relates to food/restaurants the better.

I”m in the beginning stages of working with franchises and need to research to assess the market in terms of needs and what could work vs what doesn’t. Having an insight into regional countries would give me something to think about, as there seems to be a real dearth of research/data.

Appreciate any info/tips/help. Thank you.
