The Ethiopia Dairy Protein Market is projected to witness mixed growth rate patterns during 2025 to 2029. The growth rate starts at 15.75% in 2025 and reaches 16.72% by 2029.

The dairy protein market in Ethiopia is expanding as consumer demand for protein-rich food products rises. Dairy proteins, such as whey protein, are used in a variety of products including supplements, beverages, and processed foods. As Ethiopias food and beverage industry continues to grow, the demand for dairy protein is expected to rise, driven by both local production and imports.
The dairy protein market is driven by the rising demand for protein-enriched foods and beverages. Health-conscious consumers and the fitness industry contribute to market growth.
The dairy protein market in Ethiopia faces several challenges, including limited local production of dairy proteins and a reliance on imports. The high cost of importing dairy proteins, coupled with inconsistent supply chains, increases the cost for manufacturers. Additionally, there is limited awareness of the benefits of dairy proteins in both the food and beverage and health supplement sectors, which reduces consumer demand. The lack of advanced processing capabilities in Ethiopia also limits the ability to produce high-quality dairy proteins locally, further constraining market growth.
The Ethiopian government is focused on growing the dairy protein market as part of efforts to boost the local dairy industry. Policies are designed to encourage the production of value-added dairy proteins, which are used in products like infant formula, sports nutrition, and functional foods. The government is promoting local processing of dairy proteins to add value to domestic milk production and reduce reliance on imports, while ensuring that dairy proteins meet international safety and nutritional standards.
