Earlier Report Observations

The concentrated milk and cream market in Israel began the period with stable production in 2018, supported by growing dairy product sales. However, in 2019, both production and market volume declined, coinciding with reported sales drops at major player Tara as it attempted to enter the ultra-orthodox segment. The market rebounded in 2020 with a noticeable increase in output, even as consumer preferences showed a long-term shift toward milk alternatives.

Growth continued into 2021, aided by product range innovations such as Ramat HaGolan Dairy's development of new cream lines, including whipping cream with varying fat percentages. The following year, 2022, saw more modest volume gains amid repeated retail price increases and a market becoming more concentrated, with large dairies focusing on higher-margin categories like protein-enriched dairy and plant-based alternatives.

By 2023, production plateaued as successive price hikes likely tempered volume demand, while the alternative milk segment kept gaining ground with the regulatory approval of yeast-based milk producer RimiLk. Early 2024 data pointed to further value growth in the overall milk and alternatives market, driven by price effects rather than volume expansion.
