Many international tourists preferred to stay in the UAE during FIFA World Cup, as the hosting country Qatar didn’t have enough accommodation options. The FSR channel topped the profit sector in terms of number of outlets in 2022, with an outlet count of 5,130. It was followed by the coffee & tea shop and workplace channels. The QSR channel led the profit sector in terms of the number of transactions in 2022. During 2022-27, all channels will register growth. The retail channel will increase at CAGR of 15.2%.
