Global Dairy Market: Overproduction, Price Decline, and Recovery Prospects
In 2025, the global dairy market was influenced by factors such as animal diseases, weather, geopolitical and economic changes related to protectionist measures in the US and China, and stricter environmental regulatory requirements in Europe. In the fourth quarter, there was a sharp decline in raw milk prices due to an oversupply of commodities resulting from increased milk yields in the US, New Zealand, Europe, South America, and a collapse in prices for dairy products, including butter. According to preliminary IFCN estimates, global milk production increased by 2.6% in 2025, significantly exceeding the average rate (1.3%) over the last five years. Key reasons for the growth in raw milk production were favorable weather conditions in key exporting countries, improved pasture conditions, and lower feed costs. According to the IFCN forecast, a gradual market adjustment is possible starting from the second half of the year. Lower prices will begin to restrain production, creating the prerequisites for the restoration of an upward price trend.
