Yogurt is often marketed as a healthy food. Skim yogurt is considered fat-free, which is why, it

levels of protein and calcium. The good bacteria in yogurt helps to maintain a

storage conditions.
Moreover, yogurt is rich

heart disease. Other than that, skim yogurt also contains potassium, magnesium,

Current market scenario
of skim yogurt industry:
According to a report
published by Allied Market Research, the global skim
yogurt market size is anticipated to reach $9.9 billion with a considerable CAGR from 2022 to
2031. Europe is currently dominating the market with the highest market share
and is also expected to witness the highest growth rate. This is attributed to
factors such as fast moving life of consumers, rapid growth of the
fast food industry, rise in expenditure on healthy food products by the
millennials, increase in obesity among the consumers, surge in penetration of
retail sales, and availability of skim yogurt in various flavours including vanilla,
strawberry, cherry, and coconut.
However, the outbreak of the
COVID-19 pandemic led to a negative impact on the growth of the global skim
yogurt market. The implementation of global lockdown and social distancing
norms led to temporary closure of production units, disruptions in the supply
chain, thereby affecting the domestic as well as the international production
of skim yogurt. Delay in production hampered the demand and sales of skim
yogurt during the pandemic. Nevertheless, rise in health consciousness among
consumers across the globe is boosting the demand for skim yogurt in the post-pandemic.
