PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Outlook for yoghurt and sour milk products remains positive
Yoghurt and sour milk products is expected to see retail volume and current value sales increase steadily throughout the forecast period. These product types remain well placed to meet the growing preference for healthier but still indulgent and versatile snack, breakfast and dessert foods among Costa Ricans.
Growing focus on gut health will favour kefir products
Rising awareness of the gut health benefits of yoghurt and sour milk products will remain a major demand driver over the forecast period. Most notably, this trend should continue to play a key role in broadening the appeal of kefir, which is naturally high in probiotic cultures and can help to improve digestive function when consumed on a regular basis.
Presence of imported brands expected to increase
While domestic player Dos Pinos should remain the clear leader, imported brands are expected to gain ground in yoghurt and sour milk products over the forecast period. In particular, it is anticipated brands from other Central American countries and the US will strengthen their presence in the category following the elimination of CAFTA-DR dairy tariffs at the beginning of 2025.
