As consumer preferences shift towards Western-style diets and lifestyles, there is a growing demand for premium butter and cheese products, including gourmet and artisanal varieties.

Supermarkets, health food stores, and specialty stores provide physical access to a wide range of dairy options, allowing consumers to explore and purchase products in-store. For instance, in June 2021, Almarai, the well-known dairy company in the Middle East, bought Binghatti Beverages Manufacturing’s production facility in the UAE for AED 215 million (USD 58.54 million) to expand its product range. This acquisition is expected to enhance Almarai’s ability to serve its customers by increasing the range of beverage products in the region.
