View PricingThe cheese market in the United Arab Emirates is characterized by significant import activity and a developing export profile. From 2020 to 2024, the market was shaped by global price trends and established international trade relationships. The leading suppliers of cheese to the UAE were Poland, the United States, and the United Kingdom, which together accounted for 30% of import value. Conversely, the primary destinations for cheese exported from the UAE were the United States, Sri Lanka, and Egypt, which together represented 67% of export value. Price dynamics showed a parallel trend, with both average import and export prices reaching peaks in 2023 before declining in 2024. The forecast period to 2035 anticipates continued market evolution driven by domestic demand, global supply conditions, and economic diversification efforts.
Within the global context, the United States was the dominant force in both cheese consumption and production. The United States accounted for 24% of global consumption at 6.3 million tons, a volume three times greater than that of the second-largest consumer, Germany. In production, the United States held a 25% share with 6.6 million tons, doubling the output of Germany, the second-largest producer. Italy held the third position in both global consumption and production. For the United Arab Emirates, this global landscape framed its trade dependencies and opportunities. The market's development during this historic window was influenced by these overarching production and consumption patterns, which affected global commodity flows and pricing.

Similarly, the average import price in 2024 was $5,726 per ton, down 3.2% from 2023.

The forecast for the UAE cheese market to 2035 projects steady development aligned with broader economic and demographic trends. Population growth, a thriving tourism and hospitality sector, and evolving consumer preferences are expected to sustain import demand. The established supply relationships with key partners in Europe and North America are likely to remain crucial, though diversification of sources may occur. The export sector, while smaller, has demonstrated focused strength in specific regional markets and may see gradual expansion. Price trajectories are anticipated to follow global dairy commodity cycles, influenced by feed costs, production levels in major exporting nations, and logistical factors. The market is expected to remain integrated with global trends, with the UAE serving as a significant trade and consumption hub within the Middle East region.
