Segments:

Owing to Milk Being a Part of the Diet of Millions of People, the Milk Segment is Set to Lead

The dairy product market covers many items such as milk, cheese, butter, desserts, powder, curd, yogurt, cream, and more. Milk is the most popular because it's a basic food for a lot of people. In India, people are increasingly choosing natural, farm-fresh milk, which is increasing its use. Because dairy products are so popular in India, new and appealing flavors are being created by businesses and startups to draw in customers.

With the Increasing Number of Convenience Stores, the other segments are expected to lead

The market is divided into various channels such as supermarkets, hypermarkets, specialty retailers, and others. The "others" category, which includes local milk vendors and convenience stores, is expected to grow because of more convenience stores and easy access to dairy products like milk, curd, and paneer.

Drivers and Restraints

Significant Production of Milk in India to Propel Market Growth

India's dairy market is expected to expand a lot because of its large milk production. Dairy is an important part of Indian farming, with the production and use of milk increasing. There's enough milk to make many products like cheese, butter, curd, yogurt, ghee, and paneer, and people want to buy a lot of it. Dairy is also important for India's social and economic growth. But problems like not enough food for cows and diseases in them might slow down this growth.

Competitive Landscape

Prospects of New Key Players to Create Competitive Advantage

More people are buying milk and dairy, which is making the demand go up. Big companies are growing by making more products, opening new stores, and starting new brands. For example, in September 2020, Tata started selling milk under its Tata NQ brand with a 25kg pack of skimmed milk powder for places like schools and hospitals.

Key Industry Development

• October 2022: Punjab State Cooperative Milk Producers Federation Ltd (MILKFED) launched the Verka milk and milk products brand in Delhi. The aim of this launch was to offer dairy farmers with maximum support and good prices to these farmers.
