In 2023, Germany led the European sold production of yoghurt and other fermented or acidified milk or cream, despite a slight decline. Spain and Poland showed moderate growth, while the United Kingdom and France saw notable decreases, with France dropping significantly by over 27%. Meanwhile, the Netherlands experienced substantial growth. Most Balkan countries, including Serbia and Macedonia, showed slight positive growth, while others like Greece, Ireland, and Belgium faced declines.
Future trends indicate potential expansion in Eastern Europe and Scandinavia, driven by increasing demand for health-conscious products. Germany is expected to maintain its leadership position, but new market entrants could reshuffle the rankings.
