In 2023, the Netherlands led European exports of concentrated or sweetened milk and cream with 314.51 million kg, showing modest growth at 2.89%. Germany, despite slight decline, remained a strong contributor with 294.55 million kg. Belgium impressed with an 8.01% increase. Noticeable growth was recorded in smaller markets like Estonia (149.4%) and Bulgaria (29.01%). Conversely, larger declines were seen in markets like Portugal (-7.42%) and Romania (-21.6%). Countries like Malta and Finland saw no variation. The United Kingdom's significant 26.39% increase stands out prominently amid generally moderate changes across the board.
Future trends to watch include the potential continued strong performance of smaller but fast-growing markets such as Estonia, alongside noteworthy increases in major exporting countries like Belgium and Ireland. Monitoring regulatory adjustments post-Brexit and evolving consumer preferences towards sustainable and organic dairy products could also impact future export landscapes. Potential challenges include geopolitical tensions affecting trade agreements and economic climate, which might influence demand and supply dynamics.
