The KSA Milk Powder Market is experiencing growth driven by increasing health consciousness, rising birth rates, and government support for the dairy industry. However, challenges such as price volatility and competition from local and imported brands persist.
Key growth drivers include increasing health awareness among consumers, rising birth rates leading to higher demand for infant nutrition, expanding retail channels, and supportive government policies aimed at enhancing the dairy sector.
The market faces challenges such as price volatility of raw materials, stringent regulatory compliance, competition from both local and imported brands, and a consumer preference for fresh products over powdered alternatives.
