Dairy products are milk-based products derived from animal sources, such as camels, cows, buffaloes and goats. The milk is commonly available in skimmed, low-fat and full-fat variants. It is a rich source of calcium, protein, phosphorous, magnesium, iron, iodine and essential vitamins. Some of the commonly available dairy products include milk, cheese, butter, desserts, yogurt, sour cream, quark and fromage frais. They are also used for extracting whey protein powder and concentrates, whole milk powder, probiotics and lactose and casein extracts. Regular consumption of dairy can aid in maintaining the nutritional balance in the body, boosting immunity, metabolism and preventing chronic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, musculoskeletal disorders and cardiovascular ailments.
GCC Dairy Market Trends:
Significant growth in the food and beverage industry in the GCC region is one of the key factors creating a positive outlook for the market. Moreover, rising health consciousness among the masses and increasing consumption of camel milk are providing a thrust to the market growth. In comparison to the traditionally used cow milk, camel milk has higher immunoglobulin and other nutritional content. It is also a natural probiotic, which promotes the production of healthy bacteria in the stomach, thereby improving digestion and preventing viral and bacterial infections. In line with this, shifting dietary preferences and changing lifestyles of the consumers are also contributing to the market growth. Manufacturers are developing innovative lactose-free dairy products fortified with functional, low-fat and sugar-free ingredients to reach a wider consumer base. Other factors, including rising expenditure capacities of the consumers, along with an increasing number of camel breeding farms in Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Qatar for specialized milk production, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
