Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2021, the Swedish yoghurt market maintained a stable volume, fluctuating between 204.8 and 207.9 thousand tonnes annually. This period was characterized by consistent imports supplementing domestic production, with import levels between 73 and 81 thousand tonnes per year.

A sharp shift occurred in 2022 when both imports and exports fell to zero, leading the market size to drop to 133.1 thousand tonnes—effectively matching domestic production. The market volume remained at this new lower level in 2023 at 132.5 thousand tonnes, as the absence of international trade made domestic output the sole determinant of market size.
