Earlier Report Observations

The market for concentrated not sweetened milk and cream in SADC grew from 47 479 t in 2018 to 59 379 t in 2021. This expansion was primarily driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, which shifted consumption to homes and increased demand for shelf-stable dairy products like concentrated milk throughout 2020 and 2021.

Following the peak in 2021, the market volume stabilized around 58 000–59 000 t, with a slight adjustment to 57 505 t in 2023. During this period, the dairy processing sector saw continued consolidation, reducing the number of producer-distributors, while new regulatory developments such as the Agricultural Products Standard Act Amendment set future standards for product composition and labeling.
