In 2023, Germany led the European export of milk and cream with a fat content exceeding 6%, followed by France and Belgium. Denmark experienced the most significant year-on-year growth at 45.63%, while the United Kingdom and Luxembourg faced declines of 7.05% and 3.3%, respectively. Despite the larger players, countries like Ireland and Estonia showed notable increases of 14.34% and 13.62%. Conversely, Austria and Slovakia saw declines of more than 10%. Over the past five years, the average growth has been steady across major exporters.
Looking forward, the European market for high-fat milk and cream exports is likely to experience growth driven by increasing demand for premium dairy products globally. Sustainable and health-focused dairy production could become key points of differentiation among exporters. Monitoring changes in consumer preferences and regulatory shifts will be critical to maintaining competitive advantage.
