The increasing demand for local, sustainable, and organic food production is expected to positively impact the dairy food market during the forecast period. Organic food production, including organic dairy products, places a strong emphasis on consumer health, environmental protection, and animal welfare. Consumers are now becoming more concerned with how food is raised and prepared and are willing to pay a little more for something they recognise as healthy. Across Europe, there is a very high import rate (especially for fruits and vegetables), as the rate of production is far lower than the consumer demand for organic produce. For instance, in June 2022, the Organic Trade Association, a US-based trade association representing over 9,500 organic businesses, between the years 2020 and 2021, organic sales increased by 2% surpassing $ 63 billion as compared to previous years. Additionally, the sales of organic dairy products and eggs remained largely unchanged through 2021, but they still surpassed 2019 sales by about 11%.

Ltd., Saputo Inc., Nestle S.A., Frieslandcampina, Arla Foods amba, The Kraft Heinz Company, and Savencia Fromage & Dairy. The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the dairy food market in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China, and has spread globally, including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Food and beverage manufacturers depend on the supply of raw materials from domestic and international suppliers. As many governments restricted the movement of goods across countries and locally, manufacturers had to halt production due to a lack of raw materials. Also, restrictions on the trade of non-essential goods and fear of contamination through manufacturing facilities contributed to the decline. The outbreak had a negative impact on businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the dairy food market will recover from the shock over the forecast period as it is a "black swan" event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy. The internet of things (IoT) technology is increasingly being used to track dairy products and ensure safe product handling. IoT technology consists of a network of devices, vehicles, or other items that continuously exchange data and provide insights into a process or system. This technology is being used to track ingredients being used in products. Equipment connected to the internet in trucks and storage coolers can be used to monitor dairy products and tag them with environmental conditions like temperature or location that provide information about safe product handling during transportation. For instance, the Chinese government implemented the National Food Quality Safety Traceability Platform, using IoT technology to improve the quality and safety of food production supply chains.
