UAE Dairy Products Market to Grow with a CAGR of 4.84% through 2030

The UAE dairy products market is expanding due to rising health awareness, increased demand for functional dairy, growing expatriate population, and innovation in lactose-free and plant-based alternatives, driving market growth.

 

According to TechSci Research report, “UAE Dairy Products Market – By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the UAE Dairy Products market stood at USD 2.41 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow USD 3.19 billion by 2030 with a CAGR 4.84% during forecast period. The UAE dairy products market is experiencing steady growth, driven by increasing consumer demand for high-quality dairy offerings, evolving dietary preferences, and the country’s strong retail infrastructure. Despite its arid climate and reliance on imports for a significant portion of its dairy needs, the UAE has taken steps to enhance local dairy production through government initiatives and private sector investments. The market encompasses a wide range of dairy products, including milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, and plant-based alternatives, catering to the country’s diverse population of locals and expatriates.

One of the primary drivers of the UAE dairy products market is the rising awareness of health and wellness. Consumers are increasingly opting for dairy products enriched with probiotics, vitamins, and minerals, contributing to the growing popularity of functional and fortified dairy items such as probiotic yogurts and high-protein milk. Additionally, the increasing prevalence of lactose intolerance has led to a surge in demand for lactose-free and plant-based dairy alternatives.

Government initiatives supporting food security and local dairy production are also playing a crucial role in market expansion. Investments in dairy farms and production facilities, such as those in Dubai Industrial City, are helping to reduce the UAE’s dependence on imports and enhance the availability of fresh dairy products. Furthermore, the country’s strategic location as a trade hub facilitates the easy import and distribution of dairy products from global suppliers, ensuring a steady supply in the market.

The challenge is the fluctuating cost of raw materials. Dairy production requires significant investment in feed, water, and energy, making it vulnerable to price volatility. Additionally, sustainability concerns related to water usage and carbon emissions are pushing dairy producers to adopt eco-friendly practices, which may require additional investments in technology and infrastructure.
