According to a recent report by IMARC Group, titled “Organic Dairy Market in China Report by Product Type (Organic Fluid Milk, Organic Infant Formula, Organic Yogurt, Organic Cheese, Organic Butter, Organic Cream, and Others), Packaging Type (Tetra Packs and Pouches, Bottles, Cans, and Others), Distribution Channel (Supermarkets and Hypermarkets, Organic Specialty Stores, Convenience and Grocery Stores, Discount Stores, Online/E-Retailing, Direct Sales, and Others), and Province 2025-2033”, the organic dairy market in China reached a value of USD 2,059.7 Million in 2024. Being one of the rapidly growing segments of the organic food industry, organic dairy forms a key market in the overall Chinese economy. Organic dairy products are obtained from livestock raised through organic farming methods. These dairy products are relatively healthier as compared to their conventional counterparts since they are a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, antioxidants and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). Their consumption offers various health benefits such as strengthening the immune system, boosting overall metabolism and significantly reducing the chances of diseases.
China Organic Dairy Market Trends:
A majority of the consumers in the country have shifted from regular to organic dairy products on account of the 2008 milk scandal. The incident involved melamine-tainted milk formula causing numerous infant deaths across the country. Since organic products do not involve the usage of chemicals, they have become a preferred choice amongst the consumers. In addition to this, owing to the prevalence of chronic diseases in the country coupled with the growing awareness about the benefits offered by organic dairy products, consumers are now increasingly incorporating them in their daily diets. Moreover, the Government of China is encouraging the practice of organic farming due to rising environmental issues which, in turn, is bolstering the sales of organic products in the country. Other factors such as rapid urbanization and inflating disposable income levels are also contributing to the market growth. By 2033, the organic dairy market in China size is anticipated to reach USD 6,097.7 Million, expanding at a CAGR of 12.7% during 2025-2033.
