Demand for dairy is growing among low socioeconomic groups thanks to its healthy image, despite the rising cost of living. Independent small grocers continue to characterise distribution of dairy as modern retailing remains in its infancy, especially in urban areas, though sales are growing.

This increased focus on health should also present opportunities for health-related dairy products like low cholesterol milk to gain a share of the market, while it could also support increased demand for plant-based milk like soy drinks.
