The prior post covered the growth of milk production in the U.S. This post covers the domestic disappearance and consumption of dairy products. Is the growth in consumption cooling off? Is inflation causing changes in consumption? Is the increase in milk production needed?
This post is based on new data that was not available during the government shutdown. The data is based on 12-month moving averages to minimize cyclical fluctuations. The data in the charts below are based on the annual growth of domestic consumption using domestic disappearance data. The charts below cover the trends over five years, from 2021 to 2025 YTD.
