Furthermore, the growing trend of maintaining a balanced diet and the inclusion of yogurt in daily meals have bolstered its market demand.

Continuous Innovation in Product Offerings Drives Growth in the Yogurt Market

Restraint Factor for the Yogurt Market

Fluctuating Raw Material Costs and Supply Chain Disruptions Challenge Yogurt Market Profitability and Stability

The yogurt market faces several restraints, one of which is fluctuating raw material costs. The prices of key ingredients, such as milk and fruit, can be highly volatile, influenced by factors like weather conditions, feed costs for dairy cattle, and global trade dynamics. This volatility can squeeze profit margins for yogurt manufacturers, making it challenging to maintain consistent pricing for consumers. Additionally, any disruptions in the supply chain can lead to shortages and increased costs, further complicating the market landscape. Thus, companies must navigate these financial uncertainties to sustain their operations and profitability in the competitive yogurt market.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the yogurt market, both positively and negatively. On the positive side, the increased focus on health and immunity has driven demand for probiotic-rich foods like yogurt. Consumers have become more health-conscious, leading to a surge in yogurt sales as part of a balanced diet. However, the pandemic has also disrupted supply chains, leading to logistical challenges in sourcing raw materials and distributing finished products. Lockdowns and restrictions affected dairy farms, production facilities, and retail operations, causing fluctuations in availability and prices.
