Market Overview
The yogurt market is projected to register a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period (2022 - 2027)
COVID-19 had a short-term positive impact on the retail yogurt market. As per a survey conducted by Natural Marketing Institute in May 2020, probiotic consumption witnessed an exponential surge. The survey concludes that the number of United States consumers taking probiotics increased by 66%. Among the probiotic segment, yogurt products witnessed a dynamic growth rate.
Over the medium term, the demand for yogurt is fueled by the factors like increasing awareness among people to lose weight, raising awareness about the importance of healthy food, the health benefits of the yogurt, and the availability of numerous flavors. This is making the manufacturers concentrate on developing products with innovative flavors and health benefits.
Drinking yogurt is able to ideally meet consumers' three key product demands: health, mobility, and convenience. As a practical alternative to yogurt cups and spoons, yogurt drinks come in resealable carton packs and are provided with a convenient drinking straw, making it an ideal snack for people to have on the go. With the growing trend of veganism globally, the demand for non-dairy-based yogurt products is anticipated to grow at a faster rate in the forecast period.

Key Market Trends
Growing Demand for Probiotic Food and Beverage

Yogurt, in both spoonable and drinkable form and in different flavors, is the most preferred probiotic food.

This has led yogurt to hold a major share in the sales value of the probiotics market in the country.

Almost 90% of dairy-based probiotic food and beverage were consumed in China, and dairy-based yogurt held a prominent share driving the market.
