Dairy products and alternatives in 2025: The big picture
Overall, it is expected to be a positive picture for dairy products and alternatives in Azerbaijan in 2025, with both healthy current value and moderate volume growth. Factors such as population growth and a stable economy support growth. The only dairy product that is expected to see volume sales is baby food, due to a falling birth rate. Local producers also make gains, as quality improves, particularly in products such as sour cream, fromage frais and drinking milk.
Key trends in 2025
Local consumers are increasingly health conscious and players are increasingly highlight the health benefits of dairy products to drive value sales. Dairy is a good source of calcium and protein, and is also a natural product, and players are increasingly driving this message home. There is also increasing organic offerings, as well as fortified offerings, such as with added vitamins or minerals, as player look to amplify the health benefits.
Competitive Landscape
Azerbaijan's dairy industry is characterised by a mix of domestic production and reliance on imports. The country has significant milk production, but also imports substantial quantities of dairy products.
Channel developments
Supermarkets account for over half of value sales having gained significant value share over the review period. They have a wide selection, including larger pack sizes that are sold at a lower price per unit. Retailers also offer regular discounts and promotions and this also supports value sales. That being said, small local grocers are also a sizeable channel. However, in 2025, e-commerce gains the most value share, with sales increasing by nearly a third, though this is from a very low base. The online infrastructure continues to improve in terms of payments and logistics. There are also now numerous online websites and marketplaces available to local consumers and operators use tools such as exclusive online promotions, loyalty programmes and more personalised offers to push sales.
What next for dairy products and alternatives?
There will be further constant value and volume growth over the forecast period, partly supported by population growth. Local players will continue to gain value share, as the industry looks to be self-sufficient as much as possible and with the government looking to drive modernisation. In particular, local companies will gain value share in products such as drinking milk products, cottage cheese, sour cream and cheese.
