Middle East Dairy Alternatives Market - Growth, and Forecasts (2023 - 2028)
Market Report I 2023-01-23 I 120 Pages I Mordor Intelligence
The Middle East dairy alternatives market is projected to record a CAGR of 6.76% over the forecast period.
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a sudden increase in the use of plant-based substitutes in the Middle East. There was a huge demand in Saudi Arabia for more organic, lactose-free, and non-dairy milk options during COVID-19. People opted for products using oats, almonds, soy, and peas in milk, i.e., plant-based milk, as an alternative. According to the Blue Diamond Growers' report of April 2022, the sales of almonds in the Middle East increased by 29% since the previous year. Consumers working from home during the pandemic embraced e-commerce and healthier diets.
As a result of COVID-19, online sales of plant-based milk and other goods increased in the Middle East. For example, Koita Foods, a dairy and plant-based drinks company, registered a significant rise of 350% in online sales in 2021. The growing intolerance toward lactose sugar, which is present in animal-derived dairy products, creates demand for dairy alternatives to maintain the required nutritional level in the body. The increasing demand for dairy alternatives among the millennial population is strongly driving the market studied. This is due to the nutritional benefits, unique flavors of non-dairy products, and lifestyles of the working population in the region. The high cost of production associated with dairy alternatives is one of the restraining factors associated with the market studied.
MEA Dairy Alternatives Market Trends
Rising Inclination Toward Vegan and Plant-based Dairy Products
Dairy alternatives have a broad scope for product development, attracting the attention of manufacturers to contribute to the market studied. These days, milk substitutes or vegan products are becoming popular. The functional efficacy and high sustainability claims offered by plant-derived products drive the plant-based dairy market in the Middle East. The intake of animal-based products is associated with high cholesterol levels, fat, and calories, increasing the risk of cardiac diseases, high blood sugar levels, and obesity. Hence, non-vegan consumers are also shifting toward dairy-free food and beverages, expanding the consumer base for plant-based dairy products. This drives the demand for soy, almond, and oats-based dairy products. For instance, in May 2022, Koita Foods launched new barista-friendly plant-based milk. The milk is available in five different flavors: oat milk, coconut milk, almond milk, soy milk, and almond-coconut mix flavor.
Increasing Lactose Intolerant Population
An increasing number of residents in the United Arab Emirates are suffering from lactose intolerances, thereby increasing the demand for dairy alternatives. More patients complaining of food reactions in the United Arab Emirates are claiming to be intolerant to what was thought to be household staples, such as bread, milk, and cheese. Treatment for those disorders includes avoiding dairy, lactase supplements (such as Lactaid), and lactose-free products. Rising cases of lactose intolerance, increasing health consciousness among consumers, and changing lifestyles are expected to bolster the growth of the dairy alternative market in the Middle East. Unsweetened dairy alternatives are becoming more popular as customers attempt to eliminate the excess calories brought on by added sugar. Consumers also use dairy alternatives to reduce their calorie intake because traditional dairy products are often fairly rich. Several local companies have also jumped on this trend. Leading in this space are brands such as Alpro, Arla, Soyfresh, and Koita, providing a range of options to consumers, including fortified plant milk.
