Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2021, the Norwegian concentrated milk and cream market gradually declined from 13 734 t to 13 299 t. This period saw the continued influence of market regulation, including quota management and mandatory pasteurization, as well as a shift in consumer preferences toward less processed dairy products and cheeses with over 17% fat, which reduced demand for concentrated milk and cream.

A steeper contraction followed in 2022 and 2023, with market volume dropping to 11 702 t and then 10 689 t. The earlier consumption trends persisted, and while overall dairy consumption patterns evolved, concentrated milk and cream sales continued to fall sharply.
