The import of milk and cream with a fat content of more than 1% but not exceeding 6% in immediate packings of up to 2 liters varied significantly across Europe. In 2023, the Netherlands led with a considerable share of imports, followed by Germany and Italy. While the Netherlands and Germany showed slight increases, Italy's import share declined by over 11% year-on-year. Notably, countries like Austria and Lithuania experienced substantial increases, while Spain, France, and Ireland saw noticeable declines. Over the five-year period, the market has fluctuated, highlighting diverse trends in consumption and importation preferences across different European countries.
Looking ahead, potential changes in consumer preferences for dairy products, the increasing focus on sustainable packaging, and the ongoing impacts of trade policies will likely influence European imports. Monitoring innovations in dairy production and shifts in consumer demand for lower-fat dairy variants will be crucial in understanding future market dynamics.
