A recent report released by the International Dairy Federation says that total dairy consumption globally will increase by 24 per cent by 2031, or an increase of 1.7 per cent per year.
The IDF Global Marketing Trends Report surveyed marketers in 22 countries and is out now.
I do have a query as to where exactly the dairy will be coming from, as the EU collections and outputs have remained somewhat static over the past couple of years, aside from Ireland, which has powered ahead with its dairy output, just over nine million tons of cows milk collected on the Emerald Isle in 2021, according to the Milk Marketing Observatory. Italy too saw gains, to just over 13 million tons in 2021. (agriculture.ac.europa.eu) Both France and Germany have slightly declined, and the Netherlands continues to drop. Poland was on the rise in 2021, but I haven’t seen the figures in 2022, when Ukraine’s war began.
