Dairy products industry comprises companies that operate by selling primarily milk, cheese and butter products. Operators in the dairy product industry mainly manufacture dairy products such as pasteurized milk, cream, yogurt, and dry, condensed and evaporated milk. The dairy products industry also manufactures substitute dairy products made from soybeans and other nondairy ingredients. Dairy products industry has been volatile, particularly due to the fluctuations in raw milk prices and economic recession. But dairy products industry is one of the most dynamic markets worldwide and it is growing rapidly in almost all demographics with thriving success.

As the global population is divided between two major types of food consumers, vegetarian and non-vegetarian, the recent and latest health concerns over non-vegetarian foods consumption has slightly prompted consumers to switch to vegetarian and dairy food products. Dairy products include a very broad range of products such as lactose free milk, cheese, ice cream, butter, buttermilk, yoghurt, cream and frozen desserts among others. Today, there are newer and inventive products introductions in the ice cream, frozen dessert, cheese and yogurt sectors and they have attracted a large group of consumers to boost the dairy products market. Higher demand from emerging economies across the globe and higher feed prices at dairy farms have driven milk prices to shoot up and at the same time, the economic downturn has soured demand for higher margin dairy products. But in the last few years, economic recovery has once again strengthened global demand.听
