Let $\beta>1$ be a real number and $M: \mathbb{R}\rightarrow {\rm
GL(\CC^d)}$ be a uniformly almost periodic matrix-valued function. We
study the asymptotic behavior of the product
$$
P_n(x) =M(\beta^{n-1}x)\cdots M(\beta x) M(x).
$$
Under some conditions we prove a theorem of Furstenberg-Kesten type for
such products of non-stationary random matrices. Theorems of Kingman
and Oseledec type are also proved. The obtained results are applied
to multiplicative functions defined by commensurable scaling factors.
We get a positive answer to a Strichartz conjecture on the asymptotic
behavior of such multiperiodic functions. The case where $\beta$ is a
Pisot-Vijayaraghavan number is well studied.
