The Iraq Dairy Products Market is experiencing robust growth, driven by rising consumer demand for dairy products across various categories, including milk, cheese, and yoghurt.
According to 6Wresearch, the Iraq Dairy Products Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2025-2031.

The Iraqi government is actively supporting the dairy industry through various initiatives aimed at boosting local production and reducing dependency on imports. These include subsidies for dairy farmers, investment in modernizing production facilities, and implementing quality control measures to ensure that locally produced dairy products meet international standards. Additionally, efforts to improve cold chain logistics and infrastructure are being made to enhance the distribution network. The government is also promoting public-private partnerships to attract foreign investment in the dairy sector, further driving market growth.
The Iraq Dairy Products Market is expected to witness substantial growth over the next five years. Technological advancements in dairy farming and processing are likely to improve productivity and product quality. The rising demand for lactose-free and fortified dairy products among health-conscious consumers is expected to drive innovation in the market.
