The Middle East fortified dairy products market size was estimated at USD 2.25 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 3.35 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 4.6% from 2025 to 2033. As the region experiences a growing population and expanding urbanization, there is a shift toward more modern, health-conscious diets.
Furthermore, as individuals become more aware of the importance of immunity and general wellness, there has been a marked rise in the consumption of functional dairy products such as probiotic yogurts, kefir, and fortified milk. The Middle East is also seeing a growing preference for dairy alternatives, driven by increasing lactose intolerance in certain populations, as well as rising interest in plant-based diets. In response to this, fortified plant-based dairy alternatives like almond, soy, and oat milk are gaining traction, as they are fortified with essential nutrients to meet consumer nutritional needs.
Countries such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar are experiencing strong demand for fortified milk, yogurt, and cheese enriched with vitamins A, D, calcium, and probiotics. Government-led health initiatives to combat malnutrition and vitamin D deficiency, especially in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, have further accelerated product innovation and mandatory fortification programs. Major dairy players are reformulating traditional dairy lines with added nutrients to cater to health-conscious consumers and parents seeking value-added options for children’s nutrition.
Key market trends include the growing adoption of premium, fortified dairy offerings, particularly lactose-free and protein-rich variants, which target urban and affluent consumers. The region’s young population, increasing disposable incomes, and rapid retail modernization are boosting product accessibility through hypermarkets, pharmacies, and online platforms. Additionally, the rising preference for plant-based fortified alternatives and clean-label formulations is reshaping product portfolios. Strategic collaborations between international brands and regional manufacturers are enhancing product localization and trust, positioning fortified dairy as a mainstream and fast-evolving category within the Middle East’s broader functional foods market.
