Analyst Opinion

The Yogurt Market in BRICS is currently experiencing subdued growth due to factors such as stiff competition, changing consumer preferences, and a slow economy. However, the market is expected to grow in the coming years with the increasing demand for healthy and convenient food options. Innovative product offerings and expansion into new markets are also expected to contribute to the market's growth.

Customer preferences:
As health and wellness become top priorities for consumers, there has been a rise in demand for plant-based and low-sugar yogurt options. This trend is fueled by cultural preferences for healthier and more natural food options, as well as the growing popularity of vegan and flexitarian diets. Additionally, the increasing focus on digestive health and gut microbiome has also contributed to the rise in demand for yogurt, known for its probiotic properties.

In addition, there is a growing trend towards incorporating probiotics into yogurt products, as consumers become more health-conscious. This trajectory is significant as it reflects changing consumer preferences and presents opportunities for industry stakeholders to innovate and diversify their product offerings. However, this trend may also pose challenges for traditional dairy yogurt producers. In response, companies may need to adapt their production processes and marketing strategies to cater to the shifting market landscape.
