In 2023, India led the global milk gross production share with 24.21%, followed by the United States at 10.52% and Pakistan at 7.4%. China and Brazil held 4.82% and 3.77% respectively. Key variations over the last two years highlight India's continued growth at 2.39%, while the United States saw a slight decline at -0.12%, and Pakistan experienced a notable increase at 3.09%. Germany and Australia faced small declines, whereas China and Kenya showed significant upticks.
Looking forward, several trends are poised to shape global milk production:
• Continued dominance of India, driven by rising demand and improvements in dairy infrastructure.
• Increased production in emerging markets like Pakistan, China, and Kenya.
• Potential declines in traditionally strong markets due to environmental regulations and changing consumer preferences.
