Yoghurt is an incredibly versatile
product, from taste
and type to when and how
people consume it. Regardless of
the specific consumption habits,
enjoying milk that has been fermented
with bacterial culture is a
booming phenonium. Consumers
are recognising the major impact
our digestive system has on our
overall health and yoghurt is one of
the best sources of friendly bacteria.
Eating more fermented foods
is seen as a way to improve health
and wellbeing. Yoghurt is easy to
include in your diet because of its
appealing taste and the many varieties
that make sure there is one
yoghurt product for every preference
The global yoghurt market is
forecasted to grow by $26.08 billion
between 2019 and 2023, at an
average rate of 5.36 % per year, according
to British market research
firm Technavio. Trends shaping today’s
yoghurt market are; growing
interest in gut health and cultured
products; healthier diet; clean label
products; plant-based yoghurtstyle
products; indulgence and experience.
