India Camel Dairy Market Trends:

Growing Popularity of Camel Milk and Its Derivatives

One of the significant trends influencing the India camel dairy market outlook, is increasing consumer demand for camel milk and its derivatives as a result of its nutritional value. Camel milk contains essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and proteins, and is typically regarded as healthier compared to cow's milk. This increased popularity is propelled by the mounting awareness about camel milk's therapeutic nature, such as its ability to enhance immunity and reduce lactose intolerance. With more consumers pursuing healthfulness, they are looking for functional foods, such as camel milk-based foods like yogurt, cheese, ice cream, and camel milk powder. These foods are increasingly found in both city and rural markets. Moreover, camel milk is also attracting interest for its therapeutic potential in the treatment of diseases, which is propelling demand for new products such as camel milk-based beauty and skincare products.

Shift Toward Organic and Sustainable Camel Dairy Production

Another trend in the India camel dairy market is the shift toward organic and sustainable camel farming practices. With increasing awareness about environmental and health issues, there is a growing demand for organic and natural dairy products. Camel milk, being positioned as a clean and organic product, is taking advantage of this trend. Several camel dairy farmers are emphasizing sustainable farming, including natural feeding, green farming methods, and low usage of chemicals, to attract environmentally conscious and health-oriented consumers. The trend is also complemented by the increased demand for locally produced and ethically sourced goods, which in turn is promoting the demand for camel milk.

Government policies to aid organic camel farming, particularly in states such as Rajasthan and Gujarat, have also helped in the development of the organic camel dairy industry. The move toward sustainability is likely to fuel innovation and growth in the India camel dairy market in the future. For example, recently, the United Nations announced that 2024 will be the International Year of Camelids. The Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying (DAHD), part of the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying, in partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and ICAR – National Research Center on Camel, held a one-day workshop for stakeholders on ‘Enhancing the Camel Milk Value Chain in India’ in Bikaner, Rajasthan. The event sought to inspire and enable a conversation among various stakeholders to address the challenges that could enhance the sustainable growth of the non-bovine (camel) dairy value chain, including its nutraceutical and therapeutic benefits. The occasion witnessed over 150 participants, including camel breeders from Rajasthan and Gujarat, government representatives, social enterprises, scientists, and academics, as well as delegates from the National Rainfed Area Authority, National Dairy Research Institute-Karnal, Sarhad Dairy-Kutch, Lotus Dairy, and Amul.
