The Chinese Dietary Guidelines (2022) have emphasised the importance of dairy, increasing daily intake recommendations to 300-500g. This highlights the industry's role in promoting health and strength.
Despite facing challenges, the Chinese dairy industry has shown resilience during the pandemic, indicating an upward trend. Domestic production is projected to reach an estimated 41 million tons by 2025.
Innovation and marketing strategies for adult nutrition dairy products are becoming a focal point, paving the way for diverse product lines. At the same time, the infant formula market remains stable.
Due to their utilisation in non-drinking forms like milk tea and baked goods, dairy products as essential ingredients are experiencing increased consumption, driving further growth.
Expanding urban centres are anticipated to see exponential growth in dairy consumption, potentially reaching two-thirds of that in top-tier cities.
As outlined in the revised dietary guidelines, the dairy industry is vital to fostering a Healthy China. The key drivers are adult nutrition, market expansion, and versatile usage in food applications.
