Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2021, the market for sweetened yoghurt in Israel expanded strongly, with total volume growing from 1 728 t to 3 764 t. This growth was largely driven by a sharp increase in imports, which rose from 647 t to 2 403 t, while domestic production increased modestly from 1 330 t to 1 362 t.

In 2022, the market underwent a significant contraction, falling to 1 376 t as imports ceased entirely. The market volume subsequently aligned solely with domestic production, which remained stable at just over 1 370 t.

Market volume held steady at 1 375 t in 2023. This period saw active product innovation, including the Strauss Group's launch of a special S'mores-inspired edition for its 'Para Crunch' series and Osem-Nestle's release of festive limited-edition variants, which refreshed brand offerings and catered to seasonal consumer demand.
