PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Super protein innovation to drive premium health-focused growth
Sales of yoghurt and sour milk products in Hungary are expected to continue rising over the forecast period, supported by strong consumer interest in health and wellness. Demand is projected to strengthen for products that are lactose-free, lower in sugar, and rich in protein, reflecting broader global shifts towards healthier eating habits.
Margin caps to reshape pricing and competitive positioning
The government’s decision to impose a profit margin cap of 10% on thirty essential food items, including yoghurts, from March 2025 has significantly altered pricing dynamics in the category. This measure was introduced to counter food price inflation and has led to notable price reductions, particularly for branded yoghurt products that had previously carried higher markups.
Sustainable aseptic packaging investment enhances efficiency and shelf life
Sustainability and technological advancement are expected to remain integral to the category’s development, with leading players investing in packaging innovations that extend product shelf life while reducing environmental impact. Sole-Mizo has recently enhanced its production capabilities through the adoption of SIG’s Midi 12 Aseptic filling machine, enabling the use of SIG MidiBloc and SIG MidiFit carton packs.
