SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS

By Product Type Insights

Based on product type, the liquid milk segment dominates the Europe milk market during 2022 - 2027.

In addition, babies are one of the primary drivers of the infant formula and baby milk markets. Therefore, the most widely consumed, processed, and marketed dairy product is liquid Milk. Pasteurized Milk, skimmed Milk, standardized Milk, reconstituted Milk, ultra-high-temperature (UHT) milk, and fortified Milk are all examples of liquid Milk. However, raw liquid milk is being consumed less and less all over the world.

By End User Insights

Based on End Users, supermarkets & hypermarkets are expected to have the largest Europe milk market share and revenue in the next six years.

In recent decades, supermarkets have expanded different non-food divisions to give customers one-stop shopping convenience while also increasing gross margins. Moreover, in comparison to other similar retail trade organizations, a supermarket has lower operational costs.
