Dairy Market in India
Indian dairy market is amongst the largest and fastest growing markets in the world. It is also recognised to be the lowest cost of milk producer in the world.
As per a recent report, India’s dairy exports have achieved the second best show ever in this financial year, after 4 years of slow down. Its total exports of dairy products were worth $ 404 million between April 2018 and February 2019, up 56% from $260 million in the comparable period last year. This is due to the deficit-led global price increase in skimmed milk powder (SMP) and other milk products.
Milk is a staple that has takers from a toddler to a senior citizen. Whether at home or out of home, dairy beverages have traditionally been a large part of Indian households. From lassi to falovoured buttermilk, dairy beverages are available in many sizes, shapes and packets. However, only 22% of the milk and dairy products consumed in India are in branded form, while branded dairy-based beverages form a market size of Rs 1,280 crore growing at 30% annually.
