Earlier Report Observations

The market for milk powder with fat content over 1.5% in Ecuador grew from 6.4 thousand tons in 2018 to 7.6 thousand tons in 2023, an overall increase of 19%. This expansion was driven by rising domestic production, which climbed from 6.4 thousand tons to 7.6 thousand tons over the same period.

Growth was not uniform: after a peak of 6.7 thousand tons in 2019, volume dipped to 6.4 thousand tons in 2020. A strong recovery followed, with the market reaching 7.3 thousand tons in 2022 and 7.6 thousand tons in 2023. The surge in 2022 was partly supported by a temporary rise in imports, though trade flows typically had a limited effect on total market size.
