Organic dairy on the upswing in China

In recent decades, the Chinese people’s living standard has been improving rapidly; dairy products have become an important part in people’s dietary structure. With the development of economy and strengthening of people’s food nutrition and food safety awareness, the organic dairy market in China is expected to develop in high speed, according to a new research report on the organic dairy industry in China, published by Reportlinker.

Organic agriculture has been developing for nearly 20 years in China and organic products have won consumers’ recognition, while certified organic products are of rich variety. However, China’s organic products are still mainly for export. With improvement of people’s living standard, China’s domestic organic market will show big potential.

Organic dairy market has been developing fast in recent years. The leading categories of organic dairy products are organic milk powder and organic liquid milk. In China, organic milk powder mainly refers to infant formula milk powder; some big infant milk powder brands like Abbott and Ausnutria have organic infant milk powder series products.

Meanwhile, the organic liquid milk market is also developing rapidly in China. Yili, Mengniu, Sanyuan and Green Yard organic UHT milk and pasteurized milk products promote high-end liquid milk market development; the key point of market competition has also changed from price to product quality.
