APAC: Largest market for yogurt drinks
The report study evaluates APAC as the largest market for yogurt drinks with a market share of around 39% in 2015, which is expected to rise close to 45% by 2020. Rising consumption of yogurt drinks in countries such as China and Japan is leading to the increasing demand for yogurt drinks in the region. Rising health awareness and fitness trends among consumers is also helping the yogurt drinks market to grow as consumers are demanding more healthy and natural products.
Yogurt drink manufacturers are investing heavily in dairy farms to ensure a steady supply of milk for the production of yogurt drinks. For instance, Yili Group entered into a strategic alliance with Sterilgarda Alimenti, an Italian dairy firm, and also signed a memorandum of understanding with Dairy Farmers of America to ensure a smooth supply of milk.
“The market has also witnessed the launch of new products and flavors such as Benecol yogurt drinks in South Korea. In March 2015, Mother Dairy announced its plans to set up 250 vending machines for lassi, a yogurt-based drink popular in India. Also, the increasing popularity of yogurts have prompted Starbucks to launch fruits on top yogurt Frappuccino in Japan in April 2015,” says G Vijay Sarathi, Technavio lead non-alcoholic beverages research expert.

Yogurt drinks market in Europe projected to decline in revenue by the end of 2020
In terms of revenue, Europe had a share of over 32% in 2015 but this figure is expected to decline to 28% in 2020. The decline in market share is due to the rising popularity of yogurt drinks in other regions, especially APAC. Economic conditions prevailing in certain European countries such as Spain and Greece can be a challenge to the growth of yogurt drinks as consumers will be conscious about the expenditure. Also, the rising popularity of coconut water in European countries such as the UK can also pose a serious challenge to the growth of the yogurt drinks market.
The European market however is witnessing several new product launches with yogurt drinks, accounting for almost 40% of the total new product launches in the food and beverage sector in 2013. Most of the products launched contain a higher amount of proteins than normal yogurt such as Vifit high protein yogurt drink launched by FrieslandCampina in 2015. “FrieslandCampina launched its Optiwell yogurt drink in the UK in September 2015 and also rolled out a marketing campaign worth USD 39.4 million along with the launch of the product,” adds Vijay.
