UAE Dairy Industry Trends and Drivers:
An increasing health awareness, along with a cultural affinity for dairy products, is driving the UAE Dairy Market, and demand for liquid milk, yogurt, and cheese is booming in the urban conurbations of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Health and fitness conscious consumers are driving greater demand for premium and organic dairy products, including bio-probiotic yogurts and fortified milk. The UAE Dairy Market is also seeing plenty of expansion in its retail space, with supermarkets and e-commerce channels selling a broad array of local and imported brands. Sustainability consciousness is also driving innovation in environmentally sustainable and responsible packaging for dairy products, such as recyclable cartons that are in line with the UAE government's green vision. Also, the regulatory standards and requirements in the UAE ensure that the dairy products sold are compliant and safe for consumption, and consumers have tended to choose ''clean-label' dairy options, and local and imported low-fat dairy products.
The growth in tourism and more population living urban lifestyles also impacts the UAE Dairy Market, and facilitates greater consumption of dairy products within hotels, cafes, and home cooking. In general, the UAE Dairy Market is seeing increased functional dairy products with additional vitamins and omega-3 targeted towards health conscious consumers, and dairy products developed to compete with plant-based alternatives targeted at the vegan diets. The UAE Dairy Market is also seeing an increase in demand for shelf-stable dairy products and single-serve dairy products catering for busy on-the-go consumers. Supporting the UAE Dairy Supply Chain is the recorded regulatory facilitation for local production and requirements to reduce dependency on imports, but global supply chain issues (especially around dairy products), pose risks and challenges that the UAE Dairy Market must manage. Lastly, the partnership models with fitness brands provide commercial opportunities to promote dairy in gyms and wellness events to build awareness and consumption of dairy products. The industry players must continue to optimise to present challenges highlighted by competition with non-dairy alternatives to dairy, and high production costs driven by production in a desert climate.
