Camel Milk Market size was worth USD XX billion in 2020 and estimated to be growing at a CAGR of XX%, to reach USD XX billion by 2026. Camel's milk has supported Bedouin, nomad and pastoral cultures since the domestication of camels millennia ago. Herders may for periods survive solely on the milk when taking the camels on long distances to graze in desert and arid environments.
Compared to the cow, buffalo, and milk fat, camel milk fat contains fewer short-chained fatty acids, but the same long-chained fatty acids can be found. Camel milk has more fat and protein than cow's milk. Cholesterol in camel milk is lower than cow or goat milk.
The growing popularity of camel milk due to its easily digestible property among lactose-intolerant consumers is expected to have a positive impact on the industry. Other than that, milk is considered more nutritious compared to cow's milk because it contains higher amounts of copper, iron, sodium, potassium, magnesium, manganese, and vitamins A and C. It is one of the most nutritious dairy drinks, containing natural probiotics. Camel milk enhances overall immunity and gastrointestinal health. The drink is low in fat, which is only around 2-3%, compared to cow's dairy, so it is expected to appeal to more health-conscious consumers who are monitoring their caloric intake. In addition, it helps babies and children since it is the closest substitute for breast milk. In several countries in the Middle East and Africa, it is used to feed malnourished children. Camel milk is traditionally consumed in raw or fermented form. However, with the growing number of urban consumers, manufacturers are diversifying their offerings to satisfy this population. Ice creams, flavored drinks, chocolate, and sweets are gaining popularity among countries, including the markets of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Algeria, India, Egypt, Mauritania, and Australia. Therefore, the market has a great opportunity in terms of product innovation due to the increasing demand in emerging and untapped markets. Camel dairy products are relatively expensive compared to traditional dairy products for livestock due to high production costs. The expenses related to the camel milk products compared to other products is foreseen to impede business growth in the projected years.
Camel Milk Market Segmentation:
The global camel milk market can be divided based on the Distribution channel and Product.
The offline distribution channel accounted for more than 80% of the global camel milk market revenue. Consumers prefer to buy dairy products due to their short shelf life and daily needs. Among the offline distribution channel, large retailers such as supermarkets and hypermarkets accounted for the largest share due to the wide range of products and attractive discounts. These stores, like Whole Foods Market, have simplified the distribution and expanded the reach of camel milk dairy products around the world.
The natural and flavored milk segments together accounted for more than 55% of total sales in 2019. These products have helped support nomadic and Bedouin societies for centuries. Natural milk is considered a cultural and traditional drink in the countries of the Middle East. Therefore, much of the product is consumed raw or plain. In recent years, derivatives such as powder, yogurt, cheese, butter, ice cream, chocolates, infant formulas, and even cosmetics have gained popularity around the world. Industry players are diversifying their product lines to secure their profit margins. Camel milk production requires high investment and must compete with the well-established cattle milk market, so a diverse product portfolio is important to industry players. The companies, including Camelicious, have their own cheese production plants. Also, infant formulas made from camels are a close substitute for breast milk because they have a similar lactose content. For instance, Camelicious offers powdered camel milk products for lactose intolerant babies in a Mexican children's hospital.
COVID-19 will continue to impact the food industry and its supply chains. Meeting short-term demands shouldn't be a major challenge for most companies in the food industry, but industry experts and analysts have expressed a lack of clarity on the degree and extent of the impact sprouts. Due to this uncertainty, the F&B sector experienced delays in the supply of products. Many companies have launched contingency plans to build in-depth supply chain facilities across the world. Food manufacturers with services in other countries have begun working with local suppliers to keep products moving and overcome potential ingredient shortages. The F&B culture that had flourished over the past decades will have to see new challenges with the slowdown of the Coronavirus, such as recovering from losses and a preference for ordering food online.
