China, India and Southeast Asia will account for more than 80% of market volume growth in the global dairy sector over the next five years, according to the latest Rabobank report.

While this provides opportunities for dairy companies, working with these markets will be challenging, the report noted.

 

There will be a need for considerable advancement on many fronts, said the study, with a need to focus on the safe development of domestic supply chains in these countries.

 

Tim Hunt, global dairy strategist for Rabobank said: “Tapping into emerging market growth will present a particular challenge for many of the world’s dairy processors, most of which are domiciled in, and still focused on, the EU and US markets.”

 

The report, Global Dairy Outlook: Show me the Money, forecasts a global dairy market growth of 2.4% per annum over the next five years.
