The US imports of condensed and evaporated whole milk are forecasted to increase steadily between 2024 and 2028 from 77.11 million pounds to 82.14 million pounds. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 1.62% over the five-year period. As of 2023, the import volume stood at slightly below the 2024 projection, yet the forecast suggests a consistent upward trajectory.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of changes in US consumer preferences towards dairy alternatives, which could potentially moderate import growth.
- Trade agreements and tariffs affecting cost structures and import volumes.
- Fluctuations in global milk production impacting supply and pricing dynamics.
