The 'World Dairy Industry Trends Report', published by IDF in collaboration with major dairy organizations, provides statistical data on milk production, consumption, and trade in over 50 countries, as well as insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by the dairy industry. The report highlights the growth of the alternative beverage market as a threat to the dairy industry and emphasizes the need for stronger regulations. Despite the impact of COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine on crude oil production, it is projected to recover in 2023, with some countries showing signs of recovery. The report also mentions a decline in dairy production and demand, leading to price increases and a decrease in global dairy trade volume in 2022. FAO and OECD predict a further decline in the dairy industry due to factors such as environmental and health concerns, the expansion of the alternative food market, and increased environmental regulations.
