The flavored yogurt market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The size of the flavored yogurt market has seen significant expansion in the past few years. The market, which was estimated at $60.57 billion in 2024, is projected to rise to $65.01 billion in 2025 with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. This growth during the historical period is tied to factors such as health and nutrition fads, the rise of dairy-free substitutes, the push towards transparent labelling, and the emerging snack culture.

• In the coming years, the market size for flavored yogurt is anticipated to witness robust expansion. It is projected to reach $89.2 billion in 2029, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%.
The expansion expected over the projection period can be credited to the advent of unique consumption formats, increased focus on customization and personalization, transparency in health benefits, use of various dairy sources, and environmentally-friendly packaging. Notable trend shifts during this forecast period will include the integration of functional ingredients, diversity of flavors, convenience and portability, and emergence of plant-based alternatives.
The growth of the flavored yogurt market is anticipated to be fueled by the rising health awareness among consumers. These health-conscious consumers (HCCs) lead a lifestyle centered around wellness and exhibit concern regarding their surroundings and nutrition. They show interest in consuming healthier products like yogurt, which promotes digestive health and maintains weight. The Organic Trade Association (OTA), a US-based organic industry business association, reported in May 2023 that organic food sales in the United States rose from $59.1 billion in 2021 to $61.7 billion in 2022, marking a 4.3% increase and surpassing the $60 billion threshold for the first time.
