Population growth in MENA is estimated at 20% over the next ten years (second only to Sub-Saharan Africa), with the population expected to exceed 500 million by 2031.The predominantly urban population will help drive the consumption of high-value products, such as meat and dairy. Dairy products are now an important source of nutrition in MENA. Overall, per capita availability for dairy is forecast to grow from 10.8 kg per person per year (2019–2021) to 11.4 kg per year by 2031 (OECD).
