Over the last five years, the market has seen varied performances, with certain countries like France and Germany stabilizing, while others, such as Austria and Italy, have shown significant growth potential.
Future trends in the European export of buttermilk powder indicate an increasing diversification of export markets. Countries like Italy and Greece show potential for further growth due to local dairy industry developments. However, established markets such as France and Germany may face constraints from domestic production limitations. Innovation in dairy production and efforts to meet international demand, particularly in new and emerging markets, will be key areas to watch in 2024 and beyond.
