Dairy products are a staple in European diets as they fulfil 9-16% of the daily nutritional requirements of European customers and are essential providers of protein and calcium. The presence of essential nutrients in dairy products also aligns with growing health and wellness trends in Europe while prompting key players to provide specialised products like protein-rich yoghurt and calcium-fortified milk, among others.

There is a growing adoption of advanced technologies like automated milking systems, advanced feed management technologies, and precision farming tools in dairy farming to optimise the wellbeing of cattle, lower operational costs, and ensure high-quality milk output.

Key Trends and Developments
Growing health concerns; rising trend of healthy snacking; increasing demand for functional and personalised dairy products; and surging emphasis on sustainability are favouring the Europe dairy market expansion.
Growing health-consciousness
With growing health consciousness in Europe, there is a rising preference for dairy products with health claims such as organic, gluten-free, low/no/reduced fat, high source of protein, and natural. Moreover, key players are increasingly incorporating ingredients such as hemp, pumpkin seed, collagen, spirulina, moringa, and vegetables (spinach, beet, and kale) to enhance their nutritional profile.
Rising trend of healthy snacking
The emerging trend of healthy snacking and the increasing customer demand for nutritious, convenient, and portion-controlled snacks are positively influencing the Europe dairy market dynamics. Dairy products such as probiotic yoghurts, pre-packaged cheese sticks, flavoured milk beverages, and kefir, among others, are gaining popularity as gut-friendly, healthy, and convenient snacking options among European consumers.
Surging demand for functional and personalised dairy products
Consumers are actively seeking products that function beyond basic nutrition, driving the demand for functional dairy options designed to address specific health issues like immunity, digestive health, cardiovascular health, and cognitive function. Moreover, the growing trend of personalised nutrition is prompting key players to offer dairy products with customised ingredients for specific consumer groups.
Increasing focus on sustainability
Growing concerns regarding climate change and animal welfare are revolutionising the Europe dairy market landscape. Farmers are increasingly adopting sustainable practices such as precision agriculture, renewable energy integration, and improved feed practices to optimise the use of resources, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, lower greenhouse gas emissions, ensure the optimal health of cattle, and improve soil quality.

Market Analysis
The dairy market in Europe is one of the leading markets globally and produces almost a quarter of the milk available globally. Western Europe will see a healthy growth in the dairy market with rising GDP and higher standards of living in the coming years. However, Germany was the only market in the region that saw a growth in 2017, while UK experienced a decline. Netherlands produced over 866 million kilograms of cheese in 2017, especially its famous edam and gouda cheese.
Italy, in Southern Europe, also has a flourishing dairy market aided by the favourably warm Mediterranean climate and increasing standards of living.
Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, on the other hand, have a dairy production that is only sufficient for local consumption. Niche products like ‘lactose-free’ or ‘organic’ milk are expensive in the region and the countries have to rely on Northern and Western Europe for such products.
The production of dairy in Europe as a whole has been declining due to the decreasing milk prices. The milk quota imposed by the European Union will also act as a restraint for the Europe dairy market growth.
