22.8 billion litres and counting
The global volume of drinking yoghurt is expected to grow by 2.0% during 2020-2023, and traditional cultured milk, by 1.8%. Together they account for 7.2% of the total dairy volume. Although the share might seem small, it is an interesting category with high margins. Portion packs dominate, with 82% of drinking yoghurts and 56% of traditional cultured milks.
Both traditional cultured milk and drinking yoghurt already have important roles in people’s lives. Given the warm climate, and the lack of refrigeration and cold distribution chains in many regions, there’s an obvious opportunity for ambient drinking yoghurt in Middle East and Africa. Take something they already love and make it even more accessible.
In China, ambient drinking yoghurt is a remarkable success story. It now amounts to almost 2.5 billion litres and accounts for almost 50% of total yoghurt sales. All this has been achieved since 2010, when a major Chinese dairy launched an ambient drinking yoghurt in collaboration with Tetra Pak. Since then, 13 dairy producers have entered this market with Tetra Pak lines. And the consumers want more.
