Analyst Opinion

The Dairy Products & Eggs market in the D-A-CH region is experiencing minimal growth, influenced by factors such as changing consumer preferences, increasing health consciousness, and the availability of substitutes. While the sub-markets of Milk, Yogurt, and Cheese have shown steady growth, the market for Eggs and Other Dairy Products has been impacted by the rise of plant-based substitutes. However, with the growing demand for healthier and sustainable options, the market is expected to see a gradual increase in the coming years.

Customer preferences:
Consumers in the D-A-CH region are showing a growing interest in plant-based dairy alternatives, driven by health and sustainability concerns. This trend is also fueled by the increasing number of individuals following vegan or flexitarian diets. In addition, there is a rising demand for organic and locally sourced dairy products, as consumers prioritize transparency and ethical sourcing in their food choices. These preferences are also reflected in the growing popularity of ethically certified dairy brands and products.

Trends in the market:
In the D-A-CH region, there is a growing demand for organic and sustainably produced dairy products and eggs. This trend is driven by consumer concerns about animal welfare and the environmental impact of conventional farming practices. As a result, there has been an increase in the adoption of certification schemes and labels for organic and free-range products. This trend is expected to continue, with more consumers willing to pay a premium for ethically produced dairy and egg products. This presents opportunities for industry stakeholders to capitalize on this trend by offering more sustainable options and promoting transparency in their production processes. However, it also poses challenges for traditional dairy and egg producers to adapt to these changing consumer preferences and compete with new entrants in the market.
