APAC Sour Milk Drinks Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the APAC Sour Milk Drinks Market according to our research experts:
Surge in Innovation and Packaging of Sour Milk Drinks
Bulk packaging often struggles for profit as compared to small packs and is inconvenient. Adding convenience to the functional dairy beverage through a flexible, smaller pack provides a significant profit margin to companies. For instance, the Indian dairy giant, Amul introduced Amul Masti buttermilk multipack of 200 ml (five in one pack) for convenience to its consumers and higher profit margins to the company. Moreover, probiotic drinking yogurt saw a trend towards small bottles during the review period and is likely to expand in the coming years. Increased new product launch from the private label has created a tough competition for existing players.
India Holding a Significant Share in The Market
As health and wellness continue to permeate the snacking category, the focus on children's nutrition is continuing to make a more pronounced presence in India. This has been particularly fruitful across the healthy beverage segment. Lassi continued to witness strong demand due to its popularity in the northern part of India and is consumed mainly in the summer season. Lassi is a good refreshment to beat the sun as well as has multiple health benefits such as aiding the digestive system, improving bone health among others. Karnataka Cooperative Milk Producers Federation and Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation are the two leading players in the sour milk drinks market in India.
