#6 In EuropeOver the past five years, dairy production in Europe has shrunk amid soaring inflation and shifting consumer habits. Dairy processors have continued to enjoy strong consumer demand despite the rising popularity of plant-based alternatives. Rather than being contenders, these vegan-friendly options have complemented traditional dairy consumption. Consumers have diversified their diets to incorporate both dairy and dairy-free products, keeping dairy processors’ sales afloat. Economic challenges have shaped dairy production trends, with French consumers leaning toward factory-produced, lower-margin dairy. Meanwhile, profit has risen as processors have taken cost-cutting measures. Revenue is projected to fall at a compound annual rate of 1.7% over the five years through 2024 to reach an estimated €259.4 billion. In 2024 alone, revenue will shrink by an estimated 1.9% as the effects of inflation take hold.
