Yogurt Market Research Reports & Industry Analysis

Yogurt is defined as the food produced by culturing one or more of the specified optional dairy ingredients with a characterizing bacterial culture that contains the lactic acid-producing bacteria L. bulgaricus and S. thermophilus. Other specified optional ingredients may also be added.

There currently is a standard for low-fat yogurt and one for nonfat yogurt. Basically the only difference from the yogurt standard is in the fat content. The low-fat standard specifies that before the addition of bulky flavors, low-fat yogurt contain not less than 0.5% or more than 2%. The nonfat yogurt lowers that figure to less than 0.5% milkfat. Non-drinkable yogurt sold in cups is consumed with a spoon. Cups range in size and can be intended for consumption as a single serving or for multiple uses. There are four basic styles of cup yogurts: Aerated, blended, custard-style, and fruit-on-the-bottom.

In recent years, the yogurt market has boomed thanks to the proliferation of Greek yogurt, which has been credited with singlehandedly being responsible for the yogurt market’s sales gains despite being a mature category. Even beyond Greek yogurt, the market has significant upside both within the U.S. and internationally.
