In 2024, the Netherlands leads Europe in bulk milk and cream export production at 2.59 million metric tons, an increase of 7.2% from 2023. Belgium and France follow, though both experienced declines in 2023. Germany, with a significant drop of 14.36%, still ranks high in volume but faces challenges. Emerging growth markets include Sweden with a remarkable 48.57% rise, and Eastern European countries like Latvia and Estonia show promising year-on-year increases. However, Italy and Finland face declines, indicating competitive restructuring challenges.
Future trends to watch include increasing demand for sustainably produced dairy, shifts in global dairy trade policies, and potential impacts of alternative milk products on traditional dairy exports. Technological advancements in supply chain efficiency may also play a critical role, adapting production to evolving European climate regulations.
