Analyst Opinion

The Dairy Products & Eggs market in China is experiencing steady growth due to the increasing demand for healthier food options, rising awareness about the benefits of dairy products, and the convenience of purchasing online. However, the market is facing subdued growth due to factors such as changing dietary preferences, increasing competition from plant-based milk and yogurt substitutes, and rising concerns about animal welfare. These factors are impacting the overall growth rate of the market, but it is still expected to see a steady increase in the coming years.

Customer preferences: With a growing emphasis on healthy and sustainable living, Chinese consumers are increasingly opting for organic and plant-based dairy alternatives. This trend is fueled by concerns over food safety and animal welfare, as well as a rise in lactose intolerance and veganism. As a result, there has been a surge in demand for plant-based milk, yogurt, and cheese products, as well as innovative egg substitutes made from plant proteins. This shift towards more environmentally-friendly and health-conscious options is also influenced by the younger generation's focus on ethical consumption and desire for personalized nutrition.

This trend is expected to continue, with potential implications for traditional dairy and egg producers who may need to pivot their business models to stay competitive.
