Germany is known for its wide variety of dairy products. DMK Deutsches Milchkontor was the most profitable company in this sector, generating around 5.5 billion euros worth of revenue. Other industry heavyweights include Müller and Hochwald.
Land of milk and honey
While per capita consumption of fresh dairy products in Germany has gradually decreased in recent years, it still amounted to roughly 82.5 kilos in 2023. Lower consumption levels may be influenced by various factors, such as changes in lifestyle and health choices or restrictions, as well as growing interest in alternatives to food that is sourced from animals. Milk continues to be the most consumed dairy product in Germany.
Most recognized brands
Surveys on dairy brand recognition showed that Müller and Weihenstephan were the brands of which German consumers were most aware. German dairy products are also exported to other countries. While export value has fluctuated recently, it still amounted to roughly 12 billion euros in 2023.
