Fermented Milk Products Market, Global Outlook and Forecast 2025-2032

 According to the latest market analysis from Stats Market Research, the global fermented milk products market was valued at USD 51,210 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a moderate CAGR of 2.50% to reach USD 63,954.27 million by 2032. The North American market, valued at USD 13,921.87 million in 2024, exhibits slightly slower growth at 2.14% CAGR through 2032. This steady expansion reflects global consumer shifts toward probiotic-rich functional foods and traditional dairy products with proven health benefits.

Understanding Fermented Milk Products

Fermented milk products, also called cultured dairy foods, undergo controlled fermentation using lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, and Leuconostoc. This ancient preservation method not only extends shelf life but also enhances nutritional value by:

  • Breaking down lactose for improved digestibility
  • Generating bioactive peptides with health benefits
  • Increasing bioavailability of vitamins and minerals

The product category spans diverse traditional and modern formulations including yogurt, kefir, cultured buttermilk, and specialty cheeses, each offering distinct microbial profiles and functional properties.
