However, it also poses challenges for traditional dairy companies, who may need to adapt their strategies to stay competitive in this changing landscape.

Local special circumstances:
In Burundi, the Yogurt Substitutes Market is influenced by the country's limited dairy production and the high cost of importing dairy products.
