A recent survey by Technavio named the top five leading vendors in the global packaged condensed milk market between 2017-2021 which includes DANA Dairy, Eagle Family Food, Group, FrieslandCampina, Nestlé and Santini foods.
This research report also lists 15 other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.
According to the report, value-added dairy products are gaining popularity among consumers as snacking and breakfast options. Portability is a trend that is increasing the demand for ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages and on-the-go products among both adults and children.
Thus, players in the market are promoting dairy products with factors like nutrition, convenience, and taste options. Also, it is expected that the growth of the global dairy market will be spurred by increasing per capita consumption of milk and increasing demand for dairy products such as cheese and others in developing countries such as China, India, and Brazil.
Competitive vendor landscape
The global packaged condensed milk market is highly fragmented because of the presence of numerous small and large players. Players in the market compete on parameters like price, quality, innovation, service, reputation, distribution, and promotion. Increasing competition among players often causes a reduction in the prices of the products, which negatively affect the players’ margins and market growth.
“Intense competition among vendors, coupled with rapid technological changes, constitutes a significant risk factor to vendor operations. The influx of private labels in the market is also on the rise. Therefore, to survive and succeed in a stiff competitive environment, it becomes imperative for vendors in the market to distinguish their product and service offerings through a clear and unique value proposition,” says Sharan Jaganathan, a lead food research analyst from Technavio.
A rise in the prevalence of omni-channel retailing can be seen in the market as players are realizing the vital role this channel plays in ensuring that the product gets maximum visibility. Omni-channel retailing uses a mix of distribution channels like retail stores and online stores for enhancing customer engagement.
