In 2023, France dominated the European import market for whole milk powder in immediate packing not exceeding 2.5 kg, holding a 45.78% share. However, notable year-on-year growth was observed in countries like Spain, Poland, Finland, Greece, and Latvia, which experienced increases ranging from 8.43% to 15.85%. Conversely, some countries like the United Kingdom, Bulgaria, and the Netherlands saw significant declines in their imports by over 6% to 14%. Despite these fluctuations, overall growth was modest, driven largely by variances in individual country consumption patterns and demand shifts.
In 2024 and beyond, key trends to watch include potential expansion in countries showing growth in 2023 and a possible slowdown in markets where imports have been declining. Economic conditions, consumer preferences towards dairy products, and changes in trade regulations will likely influence these import patterns. Environmental concerns and sustainability in the dairy industry might also play a role in altering traditional supply chains, potentially impacting future demand and market share distribution across Europe.
