The sheep milk market in Malaysia is relatively small compared to other dairy products, with sales of only about USD 2.5 million in 2025. This represents a 5% decrease from 2025 when the market was valued at USD 2.6 million. The majority of this revenue comes from fresh and UHT sheep milk, which accounts for nearly 95% of the total revenue generated by the sector. Despite its small size, the Malaysia sheep milk industry has been growing steadily since 2013, albeit slowly due to limited production capabilities and high prices relative to cow?s milk products.
The sheep milk market in Malaysia is driven by factors such as the nutritional benefits of sheep milk, including higher protein and fat content compared to cow`s milk. Rising consumer interest in alternative dairy sources, driven by perceived health benefits and cultural preferences, contributes to the market`s growth. Additionally, the potential for artisanal and specialty dairy products using sheep milk enhances its market outlook.
The sheep milk market encounters challenges similar to goat milk, including limited consumer awareness and cultural preferences. Educating consumers about the nutritional value of sheep milk and differentiating it from cow`s and goat`s milk can be demanding. Sourcing and maintaining a consistent supply of sheep milk, as well as ensuring product quality and safety, present ongoing challenges.
The sheep milk market in Malaysia experienced mixed effects due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Interest in sheep milk and dairy products increased as consumers explored novel options. However, disruptions in the supply chain and challenges in sourcing sheep milk affected availability. Economic uncertainties and changes in consumer behavior influenced the market`s growth trajectory.
In the emerging landscape of Malaysia sheep milk market , key players such as SheepDairy Farms, MilkEwe Producers, and NutriSheep Enterprises are anticipated to play significant roles. These companies are poised to contribute to the market by providing high-quality sheep milk and sheep milk products, catering to health-conscious consumers seeking alternatives to traditional dairy. Their dedication to sustainable farming practices, nutritional value, and promoting sheep milk`s benefits positions them as influential contributors to Malaysia dairy sector.
