In 2023, Belgium led the global cream import market, with China and Germany closely following. A significant annual growth was seen in Mexico and Kazakhstan, whereas Latvia, Jordan, and the Philippines experienced a sharp decline. Over the past five years, emerging markets like Romania, Mexico, and Kazakhstan have steadily increased their import volumes, suggesting a shift in global demand.
Future trends to watch include China's evolving consumer preferences, which may stimulate further demand. Additionally, economic recovery in countries with shrinking imports could alter market dynamics, positioning new leaders in the cream import sector. Environmental policies affecting production and transport may influence import patterns globally.
