GCC Dairy Market Share
UHT and flavoured milk have seen increase in demand as they have longer shelf life and are available in wide range of flavours
Fluid milk remains a significant segment, as it is the most basic and commonly consumed dairy product in its natural form. UHT milk, on the other hand, has gained popularity due to its extended shelf life. The high-temperature processing kills bacteria, allowing consumers to store UHT milk for longer periods without refrigeration.
As per GCC dairy market analysis, flavoured milk is another category that has seen increasing demand, particularly among younger consumers. By adding flavours like chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla, manufacturers have been able to provide a more enjoyable and diverse dairy experience.
Anhydrous milk fat (AMF) is a specialised dairy product used extensively in the food industry. By removing water and non-fat solids from milk fat, AMF becomes a stable and flavourful ingredient that enhances the taste and texture of various food products. Its versatility and functionality make it an important component.
Skimmed milk powder, with its low-fat content, is commonly used in food processing and as a nutritional supplement. Whole milk powder, on the other hand, retains all the components of milk, including fat, protein, and lactose. It offers a convenient and shelf-stable alternative to fresh milk, making it a valuable ingredient in the dairy market in GCC.
Whey protein has also gained significant traction in recent years, particularly among health-conscious consumers and fitness enthusiasts. As a byproduct of cheese production, whey protein is known for its high protein content and is widely used in sports nutrition products, protein bars, and various food and beverage items.
