Opportunity – Rising Demand for Value-added Dairy Products
The UAE Dairy Products Market is witnessing a robust shift toward value-added dairy products, such as cheese, yogurt, flavored milk, and probiotic drinks. This surge is fueled by changing consumer lifestyles, rising health awareness, and demand for convenience and premium nutrition. Urbanization and increasing disposable incomes support the growth of artisanal and fortified dairy offerings. Organized retail and e-commerce platforms enhance accessibility, while innovations in packaging and processing improve shelf life and quality. As traditional milk consumption plateaus, value-added segments offer higher margins and growth potential, making them a strategic focus for both cooperatives and private dairy enterprises. The spurring demand for value-added dairy products is expected to boost the growth of UAE Dairy Products Market in the coming years.

Curd holds the major market share of segmental revenue, supported by affordability, minimal processing, and widespread rural production. Unlike yogurt and lassi, curd is consumed in both savory and sweet forms, enhancing its versatility. Its dominance is further reinforced by traditional culinary practices and rising health awareness, positioning curd as the most preferred fermented dairy product across urban and rural UAE.
