Cultured Products to Hold the Highest Market Share

Cultured products included in the scope of the study are yogurt, sour cream, cottage cheese, and dips. Yogurt sales have experienced an increase in a very long time.
Nevertheless, with the advent of flavored yogurts, the product is expected to sustain its demand in North America over the forecast period. Most of the people consider yogurt as a healthy substitute for ice creams. In America, it is estimated that more than 80% of the population between the age of 18 to 35 prefer frozen yogurt as a close substitute to ice creams.
Moreover, with the packaging innovations in North America, such as aseptic packaging technology, yogurts are increasingly becoming safe and fresh from fill through final dispensing. Bag-in-box and pouches protect quality, extend freshness, and reduce waste. With aseptic technology, yogurt products have become more shelf-stable and preservative-free.
For instance, Amcor produces the MiGurt, the pourable, multi-serve aseptic product packaged in a 750-g barrier PET bottle. This helps to provide an extended shelf life of six months to the yogurt and requires no refrigeration before opening.
Several trends are gaining traction within the cultured dairy segment, specifically with yogurt. Manufacturers are benefiting from the clean eating movement, as cultured products that are functional, grass-fed, whole milk, and lower in sugar are becoming more popular.
