The Yogurt market in CIS is experiencing subdued growth due to factors such as shifting consumer preferences towards healthier food options, increasing competition from plant-based alternatives, and fluctuating milk prices. However, the convenience and health benefits offered by yogurt continue to drive its adoption among health-conscious consumers.

Customer preferences: With growing health consciousness and a desire for convenient and nutritious food options, there has been a notable increase in demand for plant-based yogurt alternatives in the Yogurt Market. This trend is driven by factors such as lactose intolerance, ethical and environmental concerns, and the perceived health benefits of plant-based diets. As a result, manufacturers are increasingly introducing dairy-free yogurt options, catering to the evolving preferences of health-conscious consumers.

Trends in the market: In the CIS and Yogurt Market of the Dairy Products & Eggs Market within The Food market, there is a growing trend towards healthier and more nutritious yogurt options.

Additionally, there is a rising interest in plant-based yogurt options, as well as yogurt products with added functional ingredients such as probiotics and superfoods. This trend is expected to continue in the coming years, with the potential to drive innovation and competition in the market. Industry stakeholders should be prepared to adapt to these changing consumer preferences and capitalize on the opportunities presented by the growing demand for healthier yogurt options.

Local special circumstances: In the CIS region, the Yogurt market is heavily influenced by cultural preferences and traditional dairy consumption habits. Yogurt is a staple in many Eastern European countries, with a higher demand for plain and natural varieties compared to flavored options. In contrast, in countries like Turkey and Bulgaria, yogurt is consumed as a drink and is often used in cooking.
