The production of partly skimmed milk in Germany has been on a steady decline from 2013 to 2023, dropping from 2.55 million metric tons in 2013 to 1.52 million metric tons in 2023. This represents a year-on-year decrease of 4.94% with an overall compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -4.48% over the last five years.
From 2024 onwards, the forecast indicates a continued decline in production, with an anticipated level of 1.17 million metric tons by 2028. The 5-year forecast CAGR is projected to be -4.1%, amounting to an approximate 18.89% decline in production over this period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative milk products might continue to impact demand for partly skimmed milk.
- Technological innovations in milk production and processing may introduce efficiencies and influence production levels.
- Potential regulatory changes and climate impacts on dairy farming should also be monitored.
