Yogurt Price Trend for Q1 of 2025

In Q1 of 2025, yogurt prices in the UK experienced a slight increase, driven by both domestic and international factors. Retail demand for yogurt remained steady, with consumers continuing to seek healthier and convenient snack options. However, the global milk production situation influenced the overall cost of production, leading to a small rise in yogurt prices. Milk deliveries in the UK increased by 0.9% compared to the previous year, ensuring a stable supply of raw materials for dairy products, including yogurt. This rise in production helped keep prices from rising too dramatically, despite other dairy commodities like butter and cream seeing more significant price fluctuations.

Despite the growth, market dynamics, including the trade deficit in yogurt, played a role in price increases. In 2024, the UK saw an increase in yogurt imports, which rose by 93k tonnes, contributing to higher prices. Additionally, yogurt exports also grew, underlining strong international demand. This external demand pressure, combined with a stable domestic market, led to an uptick in yogurt prices during Q1’25.

Analyst Insight

According to Procurement Resource, the outlook for yogurt prices remains stable with slight increases expected due to steady demand and continued trade dynamics. Price fluctuations may occur based on raw material costs and global market trends.
 

Yogurt Price Trend for the Year 2024

In 2024, yogurt prices experienced steady growth, driven by increasing consumer demand and market dynamics. The UK, for example, saw a rise in yogurt exports, with volumes increasing significantly during the year, reflecting a broader trend in the dairy sector. This growth was attributed to a rise in both domestic consumption and international demand, especially in European and non-European markets. Meanwhile, in the U.S., yogurt continued to benefit from its positioning as a convenient and healthy snack, contributing to its popularity and price stability.

Throughout 2024, yogurt prices saw gradual increases, particularly in the context of a strained milk production environment. Lower milk production, coupled with rising input costs for dairy farmers, contributed to the upward pressure on prices. However, the competition among producers and the diversity of yogurt offerings, such as functional and specialty varieties, helped maintain a competitive market.

Analyst Insight

According to Procurement Resource, Yogurt prices are expected to remain stable with slight increases. Ongoing market demand for healthier, convenient dairy options will continue to support the sector, although potential fluctuations in raw material costs could lead to minor price adjustments.
 

Yogurt Price Trend for the Second Half of 2023

Throughout the majority of 2023, the producers and traders of yogurt noted stable trends in the pricing patterns in India, after the sudden avalanche of COVID-19, the yogurt market slowly grew with the rebound of consumer confidence in this sector. Meanwhile, the price movements within India's food service market showed variability across different sub-categories, with some sub-categories experiencing more significant changes as compared to the others.

The more detailed analysis of the food and beverage sector suggests that yogurt price trends by location revealed regional consumption patterns were much different as some of the northern states registered only limited changes while the southern states noticed a steady rise in the pricing trajectory.

As consumers become more price-conscious, operators also started to seek methodologies in order to optimize costs to maintain margins and market share. Innovation played a crucial role for restaurant operators in India, enabling them to attract customers and manage costs effectively. With a growing number of consumers, food service operators continuously innovated their production routes, helping in the stagnancy of the yogurt's overall pricing.

Analyst Insight

According to Procurement Resource, the price of Yogurt is estimated to sustain this stability as the variations in production routes and consistent demand from the downstream industries will favor the sustenance of the yogurt market.
 

Yogurt Price Trend for the First Half of 2023

The yogurt market was affected by the consequences of inflation in the food industry. The price trend inclined in the first two quarters as the global markets suffered from the issues of disruption in supply chains, adverse effects of the Russia-Ukraine crisis, and shortage of labor. In the US and European region, the approximate rise in the cost of yogurt rose by almost 18% in the first quarter alone.

The cost of production in the US inclined dramatically as the rates of raw materials, minimum wages, and prices of energy took a sudden upward turn. This rise in the price trend of yogurt was also supported by the rising demand from the consumer sector, which, despite struggling conditions, continued to push yogurt prices in a positive direction. However, during the end phase of the second quarter, the prices cooled down as the global economy showed signs of recovery.

Analyst Insight

According to Procurement Resource, the price of Yogurt is expected to follow a fluctuating trend as the rates of food inflation are estimated to stabilize with increased production and positive support from the feedstock sector.
