Growth opportunities in the GCC dairy market look promising over the next six years. This is mainly due to the liberalization in the dairy industry and improvement in the selling and packaging of new tetra packs to meet consumer demand for hygienic and safe dairy products.
GCC Dairy Market Dynamics (including market size, share, trends, forecast, growth, forecast, and industry analysis)
Key Drivers
As per the “Food and Agriculture Organization United States,” cheese imports of Saudi Arabia have increased to 175,194 in 2019 from 172,097 in 2018 with around 1.8 % increase in the imports, which has fuelled the GCC dairy market. The whole milk powder has witnessed a raise of 17.9 % in imports from 2018 to 2019, thereby presenting the potentials for region. Also, in accordance with the “Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark,” amid the GCC countries, KSA exports more than 30% of their products to the adjoining countries for US$ 533 million. Moreover, liberalization in dairy products has led to investment by private and government firms in the industries, stimulating the demand for dairy products. For example, Almarai, one of the leading dairy companies, in 2019 prepared to invest US$ 1.9billion to extend the dairy industry, which may stimulate the GCC dairy market.
As per the “Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board,” GCC is reported to be the second-largest exporter of dairy products outside Europe, and within GCC, UAE makes up 40% of the trade. The players emphasize improving their selling and packaging of new tetra packs to satisfy consumer demand for safe and hygienic dairy products. These advancements are anticipated to strengthen the market growth. However, the growing concerns about toxicity levels in pesticides and other health issues may curb the growth of the dairy market in GCC region.
