Market Segmentation

Milk segment for the highest share in the global dairy products market

Milk is the major dairy food and the demand for liquid milk products is rapidly surging with the rising health consciousness and living standards of the consumers. In recent decade, with the increasing premiumization and diversification of consumer needs, the usage of milk has been expanding from traditional dairy products to new products with high added value. It is expected that this trend will lead to further growth in milk consumption with favorable long-term consumer trends and developing technologies. Demand for milk and milk products is increasing daily with an increase in the world population. High-end technology is required to meet these needs by increasing the milk processing capacity and maintaining the quality of the product. The dairy industry is highly localized owing to the perishable nature of milk products. According to FAO, only 7% of milk in the U.S. is exported. Dairy products are exported to the regions where climatic conditions, unmet demand-supply ratio, unfavorable government measures, and change in exchange rates play a major limiting role. Use of technologically advanced transportation measures for maintaining the efficiency and quality of milk products during long-distance export are also anticipated to boost the dairy products market growth.
