The Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany lead European imports of whole milk powder, collectively accounting for nearly half of the market share in 2023. Despite a drop in the Netherlands and Belgium, France and Denmark saw significant growth with a year-on-year increase of 5.71% and 18.46% respectively. Finland and Luxembourg also experienced remarkable growth. Conversely, Austria, Malta, and Cyprus faced substantial declines. Over the past five years, the compound annual growth rate reveals overall deceleration in key import-heavy countries, with growth shifting towards smaller markets.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in demand due to evolving consumer preferences and regulatory developments within the EU. Emerging markets such as Greece, with a recent growth spike of 11.17%, may continue to expand their share. Additionally, trade policies post-Brexit will be critical in shaping the UK's import dynamics. Sustainability concerns might also redirect imports towards eco-friendlier options, affecting volume and sources.
