In 2023, New Zealand dominated the global export market for unsweetened milk and cream powder, accounting for more than half of the shares. The Netherlands and Uruguay followed, albeit at a significantly lower scale. Among notable trends, Greece and Lebanon showed sharp increases in their export shares by 36.83% and 38.11%, respectively, while countries like Russia and Lithuania faced steep declines of 34.62% and 42.87%. Emerging markets such as Mexico experienced double-digit growth, while traditional exporters like France and Australia saw declines of more than 5%.
Looking forward, it is crucial to watch the impact of geopolitical tensions, trade policies, and sustainability standards on milk and cream powder exports. New Zealand's dominance suggests potential competitive challenges for smaller exporters. The economic recovery in various countries and advancements in production technology could foster growth in emerging markets like Mexico and Mongolia.
