The projected export volume of fluid milk from the US shows a steady increase from 2024 through 2028, with a growth pattern starting at 137 thousand metric tons in 2024, and reaching 144 thousand metric tons by 2028. This indicates a consistent year-on-year growth of approximately 1.4% over the period, assuming a similar trend persisted from 2023. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is approximately 1.27%.

Future trends to watch for:

Global demand shifts, especially in emerging markets, could influence US export volumes.
Trade agreements and regulatory policies may impact export potentials and market accessibility.
Sustainability and consumer preferences shifting to plant-based alternatives could affect traditional dairy exports.
Advancements and investments in the dairy supply chain logistics may enhance export efficiency.
