Market Trends of asia-pacific yogurt Industry
Improved health benefits of yogurt products emerge as major factors driving consumption
- Yogurt consumption has been on the rise due to its numerous health benefits. Considered a protein-rich food source, yogurt improves metabolism, making it an ideal choice for individuals aiming to burn more calories throughout the day. In addition to aiding weight loss, yogurt also promotes the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. Consequently, the demand for unflavored yogurt continues to surge across various regions.
- In India, yogurt, known as curd, holds a prominent place in the daily routines of the population, often consumed as part of meals or refreshments. Similarly, yogurt consumption in Australia has witnessed significant growth over the past decade, as it is widely recognized as a healthy snack option. From 2023 to 2024, the per capita consumption of yogurt in India is expected to increase by 5.16%, while in Australia, it saw a growth of 1.2% during the same period.
- China displays a strong inclination toward lactose-free yogurt. More than 92% of the Chinese population experiences allergic reactions to lactose found in dairy products, resulting in discomforts like flatulence and diarrhea. Yogurt products, through fermentation, effectively break down a large portion of lactose, greatly reducing the likelihood of allergic reactions.
- The demand for yogurt-based recipes from cafes and restaurants has been steadily increasing, further driving the market growth. This trend is particularly evident in Southeast Asia, where the food service industry has experienced significant expansion, with foreign food chains strategically expanding their presence. The influx of inbound tourists has also contributed to this growth, with around 11.15 million arrivals recorded in 2022, marking a substantial increase compared to previous years.
