Skimmed cow milk production in Germany is projected to rise steadily from 2024 through 2028. Starting at 14.814 million metric tons in 2024, the production is expected to reach 15.256 million metric tons by 2028. This forecast suggests a consistent growth in production volume, indicating a stable demand and potentially improved productivity in the sector. The year-on-year growth rates are approximately 0.76% (2025), 0.75% (2026), 0.73% (2027), and 0.71% (2028), which reflect a modest yet stable upward trend.
