The Cheese Market in Kuwait has seen minimal growth due to various factors, including slow adoption of digital technologies and low health awareness among consumers. Additionally, traditional dairy products and eggs remain popular, impacting the market's growth rate.
Customer preferences: As Kuwaiti consumers become more health-conscious, there has been a noticeable increase in demand for low-fat and organic cheese varieties. This trend is driven by a growing awareness of the health benefits of these products, as well as a desire for more natural and sustainable food options. Additionally, there has been a rise in demand for locally produced cheese, reflecting a preference for supporting domestic businesses and reducing reliance on imports.
