Value sales of other dairy products are set to increase in Finland in 2025, supported by new product development focused on convenience and health-related benefits. Products that are quick and easy to use at home, particularly in cooking, resonated well with Finnish consumers. For instance, Arla KESO Crushed Original and Paprika & Chili are protein-rich cottage cheeses designed to offer a soft texture, suitable for a variety of uses including as a dip, cooking ingredient, or on bread. The high p

Retail value sales of other dairy are set to rise in current terms in Greece in 2025, mostly due to increased prices, since there has not been a lot of development or new products launched within the category. Plain fromage frais and quark is expected to be the most dynamic category during the year. Cottage cheese is considered to be an especially healthy option due to its high protein and calcium content, while it is also believed to support weight control. At the same time, there is a cultural

In 2025, value sales of other dairy are seeing double-digit growth in Chile. Cream is the most dynamic member of other dairy in terms of value growth, closely followed by flavoured condensed milk; together they remain the two most important subcategories. Both products benefit from a post-pandemic environment in which households cook more frequently at home, whether for personal consumption or, in many cases, to generate additional income through small-scale sales of home-made goods. Chilled dai

Retail value sales of other dairy are expected to rise in current terms in South Korea in 2025. During the year, chilled dairy desserts has emerged as a key contributor to the modest growth seen in South Korea’s other dairy category. The turning point came in 2024, when GS25 convenience stores introduced eye-catching products such as milk-based puddings and CookatMade’s "milk carton pudding." These products quickly gained traction by offering both novelty and nostalgic appeal, inspired by simila

Other dairy products comprise cream, flavoured condensed milk, chilled dairy desserts, coffee whiteners, plain condensed milk, and flavoured fromage frais and quark. In 2025, all subcategories recorded positive growth rates after pronounced declines witnessed in 2024.

Retail value sales of other dairy are set to rise in current terms in Japan in 2025. This is mainly due to increasing unit prices. Indeed, retail volume sales are expected to fall during the year. Raw material prices have remained at elevated levels due to factors including expanding global demand. In addition, increased crude oil prices have resulted in higher logistics costs and packaging material prices. Moreover, other expenses such as energy costs have also remained at elevated levels. Furt

In 2025, other dairy continues to show a downward consumption trend in retail channels in China, though the consumption of other dairy in the food service channel had shown steady growth. This is due to the variety of dining options and the convenience of food delivery service in China, with home baking and beverage preparation remaining niche hobbies. Additionally, traditional Chinese cooking hardly requires evaporated milk, condensed milk or cream, leading to relatively limited consumption of

Australia’s other dairy category has seen stable value growth in 2025, buoyed by the continued strength of at-home cooking and entertaining. Core ingredients such as cream remain staples in home meal preparation, with consumers leaning into cooking from scratch as a more cost-effective and comforting routine amid persistent cost-of-living pressures. Within this context, chilled dairy desserts has experienced a clear premiumisation trend, driven by consumer demand for indulgent yet refined treats

In 2025, retail current value sales of other dairy in the Czech Republic are projected to see a double-digit increase, while retail volume sales are expected to grow moderately. The growth in consumption is driven mainly by the stabilisation of the economic situation of Czech households. Retail current value sales are set to grow much faster than in previous years of the review period, as the price of milk is increasing amid a decline in imports from Slovakia. This has exerted upward pressure on

Amid rising prices, other dairy has seen health growth in current value terms in 2025. However, price increases are not the only factor. Indeed, despite pressure on purchasing power, volume sales have increased too. This is due in part to the indulgence trend, which has strongly favoured categories such as fromage frais and quark and chilled dairy desserts. The latter two categories have also benefited from significant innovation. Indeed, at the beginning of 2025, Nestlé launched its Lindahls Pr

Retail value sales of other dairy products in Bulgaria increased in 2025, driven primarily by retail price growth following higher production costs and retailers’ rising operational expenses linked to the considerable increase in both minimum and average wages. Despite these price pressures, volume sales for most categories remained stable or showed modest growth, with the notable exception of plain condensed milk, which continued to decline. The category benefited from evolving consumption patt

Value sales of other dairy are set to increase in Egypt in 2025, primarily as a result of price rises exceeding 15%. These heightened prices stem from surging costs of raw materials and fuel, which have significantly impacted commodity pricing across the board. The lack of government price regulation amid ongoing inflation has further exacerbated the situation. Despite these substantial price adjustments, volume sales within many other dairy categories are showing an improvement in 2025, over 20

Other dairy has seen strong and steady growth in retail value and volume terms in 2025. The strong demand for cream and fromage frais and quark is the major sales driver of other dairy. Within savoury and plain fromage frais and quark there is an apparent trend towards cottage cheese. Protein enriched products are also pushing sales in plain fromage frais and quark, with these products also traditionally used for baking. Cream accounts for the largest share of value sales in other dairy and it h

Following a period of unusually high food inflation in 2022, 2023 and the first half of 2024, categories within other dairy – including dairy desserts, coffee whiteners, cream, and condensed and evaporated milk – saw weaker volume growth but relatively strong value performance. As inflation eased in the second half of 2024 and into 2025, and in some cases prices edged down slightly, volume consumption began to recover. However, elevated price levels, coupled with a challenging economic climate m

Retail value sales of other dairy in Saudi Arabia increased by 7% in current terms in 2025, reaching SAR2.9 billion. This growth was driven by a rebound in consumer spending and a robust demand for both indulgent and essential products.

Plain fromage frais and quark, known locally as labneh, continued to thrive due to its staple status on breakfast and dinner

Other dairy, which in India mainly comprises coffee whiteners, cream, and condensed and evaporated milk, is set to maintain double-digit retail current value growth in 2024. Although coffee whiteners dominates in terms of value sales, cream, and condensed and evaporated milk are set to see the strongest growth rates in this year. Consumers in India have a very strong inclination to consume sweets and desserts, which play a major role in celebrations, ranging from traditional sweets to Western op

The low availability of raw milk and difficulties in the supply chain of dairy products, especially in the wake of El Niño, has led to high and rising prices across other dairy. Companies have developed alternatives to bypass final prices hikes by launching mixed dairy products, which in theory emulate the flavour and texture of the original products. This strategy follows the dairy compounds structure, in which only a percentage of the product is actually sourced from milk, added to other ingre

Evaporated milk has been popular among Peruvian households, valued for its role in direct consumption, dessert preparation, and traditional recipes. It has long been regarded as essential for children's growth and overall health. However, the rise of affordable shelf stable milk and increasing awareness of the content of evaporated milk have led to slowing sales. Despite this, evaporated milk remains the leading product type, not only in other dairy in Peru, but also across dairy as a whole.

Innovation and frequent new product launches remain key characteristics of the dynamic other dairy category in Slovenia in 2024. These factors, combined with a growing focus on convenience, are driving stable consumer demand. The category continues to benefit from premiumisation and moderately rising prices, resulting in solid value growth. Increased competition within the category is fostering further diversification, with new, innovative, and value-added products being introduced to meet the n

Other dairy in Sweden continues to face intensifying competition from trendy plant-based dairy options in 2024, with regular new launches from the latter increasingly attracting consumer attention. Private label players are adding to the burden for other dairy brands, with local consumers showing price sensitivity. Not only do private label lines offer other dairy products made in Sweden and with local dairy ingredients, but they also offer impressively sophisticated options. For example, ICA Ba

Retail volume and value sales of other dairy in Kenya remain very low at the end of the review period. Growth is expected to be healthy over 2024, from a low base, although cream remains the category within other dairy to register significant retail, or foodservice, sales. Consumers in Kenya are highly price-sensitive, and this severely hampers the potential of dairy products like cooking cream and ghee. The high cost of these items, coupled with limited awareness in households, subdues demand.

Other dairy in Malaysia is expected to register a faster decline in retail volume sales in 2024, with all significant categories seeing downturns in demand. With the return to pre-Coronavirus (COVID-19) active lifestyles, consumers are cooking and baking only occasionally in the home. Therefore, they are tending to purchase products like condensed and evaporated milk and cream only when needed, without storing in bulk at home since they have limited time to cook and prefer convenient cooking pro

Other dairy is achieving positive retail value and volume sales in Slovakia in 2024, supported by the ongoing stabilisation of inflationary pressures and commodity prices of fresh milk. That said, production costs and the prices of raw ingredients such as sugar are keeping unit prices on the higher side for products such as dairy desserts and condensed milk for example. Other dairy, often deemed to be an overall “unhealthy” category compared to many less-processed dairy products, also faces risi

Cameroonians remain highly price sensitive in 2024, compounded by persistently high inflation. As such, some consumers have been turning to more affordable alternatives to powder milk like condensed milk. Condensed milk is used in making popular hot beverages that are consumed in almost every Cameroonian household in the morning. Although the prices of condensed milk rose significantly in 2022 and 2023 the price per kg still remains way below that of powder milk, thereby making it an attractive
