PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Other dairy set to remain in decline for forecast period
Sales of other dairy products in China will continue to shrink throughout the forecast period. With the upgrading of consumption habits, consumption scenarios for category products will be further reduces.
Rising health consciousness will prompt players to sharpen focus on wellness attributes
Chinese consumers are increasingly concerned about whether ingredients are healthy. In the past, innovations in other dairy products mainly focused on flavours, such as the development of strawberry and chocolate varieties.
Local consumers favour smaller pack formats
In contrast with the large packaging formats typically found in European and American households, manufacturers have launched smaller packages and portable packs in China to better align with the consumption habits of Chinese consumers, who prefer to consumer smaller amounts per serving. In addition to the traditional 300-400g canned products and 180-200g tube packaging, players offer packs of only 10-15g - convenient for single use or for one person and being easy to store as well as carry.
