As global milk output climbs across key producing regions, dairy commodity prices are coming under pressure. Based on data from Maxum Foods’ August 2025 Rising Milk Output Pressures Global Dairy Values report, the update outlines how rising milk production in key regions is influencing global dairy market dynamics, with shifting supply levels, evolving trade conditions and ongoing weather-related challenges.
In the EU, earlier constraints in milk and butterfat supplies are easing. However, a hot, dry summer on already parched soils is threatening feed availability later in the year and increasing the risk of disease. While cheese demand in the bloc remains stable, butterfat demand has weakened and exporters are losing market share.
Production conditions in New Zealand remain positive ahead of the new season, with milk output expected to edge above last year’s strong results. Weather patterns remain a key factor for short-term performance.
