PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Yoghurt shifts from premium to everyday snack
The shift in perception of yoghurt from a premium product to an accessible and nutritious product for all income levels will continue to drive demand. Yoghurt is now seen as a versatile dairy product, consumed both as a snack and dessert, and this will support continuing demand, especially as local players continue to focus on affordability.
Rising health consciousness drives demand for plain yoghurt
Currently, the breakdown between flavoured yoghurt and plain yoghurt is about half and half. However, plain yoghurt will register higher volume growth over the forecast period.
Improved cold chain storage presents opportunities
In recent years, players such as SOTICAM and Camlait have made important strides in cold chain logistics, including the purchase of refrigerated trucks. This in turn could lead to an opportunity to extend distribution to more rural areas and widen the consumer base.
