How Big is the Dairy Industry in India ?

The India dairy market size was valued at INR 21,318.5 Billion in 2025 and is projected to grow to INR 57,859.1 Billion by 2034, with an expected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.73% from 2026 to 2034. Uttar Pradesh dominated the market in 2025, holding a market share of over 18.7%.

Market Growth Drivers:

The India Dairy Market is undergoing a major transformation as consumers increasingly shift toward value-added, hygienically processed, and nutrition-focused dairy products. Traditional liquid milk still dominates consumption; however, demand is rapidly rising for packaged curd, cheese, paneer, flavored milk, butter, yogurt, and ice cream as households prioritize convenience and consistent quality. Moreover, the trend of high-protein diets is boosting sales of Greek yogurt, whey-based beverages, and fortified dairy snacks among fitness-oriented consumers. Additionally, lactose-free and probiotic-enriched dairy products are becoming popular as awareness of digestive wellness grows.

In addition, premiumization is reshaping buying behavior, with consumers willing to pay more for organic milk, farm-fresh variants, A2 cow milk, and ethically sourced dairy. E-commerce and hyperlocal delivery apps are expanding the reach of chilled dairy products, offering subscription-based milk delivery, real-time tracking, and freshness guarantees. Furthermore, automation in processing, advanced cold-chain systems, and smart packaging technologies are improving safety and product shelf life. Together, these evolving trends indicate a market that is steadily moving toward healthier formulations, diverse product offerings, and greater reliance on organized dairy brands across India.

Dairy Industry in India Trends:

The India Dairy Market continues to grow strongly due to rising population, increasing income levels, and growing preference for protein-rich foods. India’s robust milk production ecosystem—supported by millions of small farmers—ensures a steady supply of raw milk for cooperatives and private dairies. Moreover, government initiatives promoting dairy infrastructure, veterinary healthcare, breed improvement, and rural development are strengthening the entire value chain. Additionally, rapid expansion of urban centers and changing dietary patterns are pushing demand for packaged and branded dairy products that offer safety, quality assurance, and longer shelf life.

In addition, the foodservice sector—including cafés, QSRs, bakeries, and restaurants—is fueling consumption of cheese, cream, butter, and specialty dairy ingredients. Rising exports of milk powder, ghee, and value-added dairy goods are also contributing to market growth as Indian dairy products see increasing acceptance in global markets. Furthermore, technological innovations in processing, improved refrigeration systems, and supply chain digitization are helping companies scale efficiently while reducing wastage. Together, these growth drivers ensure that the India Dairy Market remains on a strong upward trajectory—supported by structural improvements, rising nutrition awareness, and India’s deep-rooted cultural dependence on dairy foods.
