Technavio's analysts have provided extensive insight into the market forecasting, detailing the regional trends and drivers influencing the market's trajectory throughout the forecast period. A majority of the products in Africa are exported to other countries. In addition, the region has some of the largest global producers, such as Somalia and Kenya. Moreover, Somalia has the largest camel population globally and is home to about one-third of the total global camel population. Furthermore, camel's milk has been a part of the traditional diet for Middle Eastern consumers for centuries, and its demand is still strong in the region. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth in the region during the forecast period.
The market is experiencing a surge in demand driven by growing consumer awareness of its nutritional composition and health benefits. Rich in proteins, minerals, and bioactive compounds, this is gaining popularity among health-conscious consumers seeking functional food products. With its hypoallergenic properties and potential to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation, they addresses concerns related to autoimmune disorders and cholesterol content. In emerging economies with increasing disposable income, there is a growing market for premium and specialty food products, including raw camel milk, pasteurized camel milk, and flavored camel milk. Camel milk cheese and other gourmet products are also gaining traction, with specialty stores catering to discerning consumers seeking unique and healthful alternatives.
One of the key factors driving the market is the increasing camel milk production. The growing demand among consumers has led players to ramp up their production. In addition, the number of dairies producing milk is also increasing. Furthermore, it has led various companies to invest in increasing the herd size of the camels to increase the production of milk.
For example, the Australian Wild Camel Corporation is planning to increase its herd size from 450 camels to 2,500 camels over the next two years. In addition, the number of dairies producing camel's milk has increased to 10 in Australia during the past two years. Furthermore, production is also increasing in African countries such as Kenya and Ethiopia. Hence, such factors are driving the market during the forecast period.
A key factor shaping the market is the rising demand for camel milk in online retail. Several factors, including increasing Internet connectivity, growing adoption of smartphones, and the presence of a large customer base increase the demand in online retail. In addition, companies offering camel milk focus on distributing various fresh milk through online retailers.
Moreover, the global market is experiencing growth driven by increasing online marketing activities that enhance consumer accessibility to diverse products. E-commerce platforms like Amazon, Walmart, Target, and Tesco are pivotal in expanding the availability of camel's milk, offering competitive pricing compared to traditional local markets. This accessibility and affordability through online retail channels contribute significantly to market expansion during the forecast period. Donkey milk, recognized for its nutritional benefits and potential therapeutic applications, is gaining visibility as a niche dairy product. As consumer awareness grows about its unique properties, there is potential for donkey milk to carve out a market niche, especially in specialized dietary supplements or functional food segments. These trends underscore a dynamic shift towards online retail platforms driving market growth for alternative dairy products like camel's and donkey milk globally.
Increasing competition from plant-based milk alternatives is one of the key challenges hindering market growth. Camel's milk encounters stiff competition from plant-based milk alternatives including soy milk, almond milk, coconut milk, and others. In addition, these plant-based alternative dairy drinks are primarily consumed by vegans, lactose or dairy intolerants, and people with milk allergies.
Moreover, these drinks have low fat and low cholesterol levels. In addition, they are also witnessing increased demand owing to the increasing awareness about the medical benefits of such products, rising health consciousness among consumers, and increasing vegan population. Hence, such factors are negatively impacting the market which in turn hinders the market growth during the forecast period.
Companies are implementing various strategies, such as strategic alliances, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, and product/service launches, to enhance their presence in the market forecasting growth and analysis.
