In 2023, whey butter production in Italy stood at approximately 7.99 thousand metric tons. The forecast indicates a very gradual increase, with production expected to reach 8.02 thousand metric tons by 2028. This represents a year-on-year growth of about 0.12% in 2025, remaining flat in 2026, and a marginal increase in 2027 and 2028 at around 0.13%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over five years is expected to be minimal, reflecting a stable but slow growth trend.
Looking ahead, factors such as demand for high-protein foods, shifts in dairy consumption patterns, and potential regulatory changes will play significant roles. Innovations in production processes and product diversification could further influence the market dynamics. Monitoring these elements will be crucial for anticipating future changes in Italy's whey butter industry.
