According to a new report by UnivDatos, the Middle East & Africa UHT Milk Market is expected to reach USD million in 2033 by growing at a CAGR of 6.50% during the forecast period (2025-2033). The market of UHT milk in the Middle East and Africa is witnessing gradual growth, with the climatic conditions and changing consumption patterns contributing to the market growth, coupled with an enhanced distribution of packaged food. Fresh milk is not as viable in a large part of the region due to high temperatures, which demand more usage of ultra-high-temperature processed dairy items with a high shelf life. The growing urbanization, the alteration in family setup, and the growing role of women in the job market are influencing the need to have a convenient and long-lasting milk formula. Also, the increasing investment in contemporary retailing trends and the international dairy business are enhancing the availability of products. Food producers and governments are also looking at food security, further enhancing the position of shelf-stable dairy products in regional supply chains.

Segments that transform the industry

• According to the fat content, the Middle East & Africa UHT Milk Market can be divided into Whole/Full Cream, Semi-Skimmed, and Skimmed. Among them, the Whole/Full Cream segment had the largest market share. This is mostly influenced by high consumer preference towards richer taste, more energy, and the use of traditional dieting habits in most countries within the region. Whole UHT milk is also popular in domestic consumption, tea and coffee making, and foodservice, and helps in supporting its demand. Besides, it has a higher adoption due to its reputation of being more satiating and healthier, especially among the family and price-sensitive consumers whose unit costs are lower.

According to the report, Extended shelf-life suits hot climates has been identified as a key driver of market growth. Some of the ways this impact has been felt include:

• The long shelf life of UHT milk is a business determinant that is growing critically in the Middle East and Africa, where the conditions of ambient temperatures and storage restrictions can easily reduce the viability of fresh dairy products. UHT processing removes microorganisms causing sickness by subjecting the milk to ultra-high temperature treatment, which enables it to be stored in the absence of refrigeration over a period of several months. This attribute has gone a long way to decrease the chances of spoilage during transportation and storage, especially in areas where the cold-chain systems are underdeveloped. The retailers will enjoy reduced inventory losses, and the distributors are able to better cover remote and rural areas that may be costly or impossible to use refrigerated logistics. To consumers, the costs of the product are reduced due to its long shelf life, which allows the product to be readily available and convenient, particularly when there is a power blackout or disruption in supply. Since food security and supply chain resiliency have become a priority within the region, the ability of UHT milk to withstand hot environments further supports the idea that the product is a reliable and scalable solution in the dairy industry.
• In 2023, Githunguri Dairy Farmers Cooperative Society (Fresha Milk) expanded its international presence by securing export deals towards the Middle East, including Oman, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia. The Kenya-based company will export around 250,000 liters of UHT Milk.
