Europe Dairy Market Stability Supported by Traditional Consumption & Product Innovation at 0.3% CAGR

The Europe dairy market remains one of the largest and most established dairy markets globally, supported by long-standing consumption traditions, advanced processing infrastructure, and strong regulatory frameworks. According to Market Research Future analysis, the Europe dairy market was valued at USD 152.0 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 157.4 billion by 2035, growing at a modest CAGR of 0.3% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2035.

This relatively low growth rate reflects the market's maturity rather than a lack of demand. Dairy consumption in Europe is deeply embedded in daily diets, and the market's expansion is increasingly driven by value addition, premiumization, and innovation rather than volume growth.
