Analyst Opinion

The demand for Milk in China has been on the rise in recent years, with a growing middle class and increased awareness of the health benefits of milk consumption.

Customer preferences: Chinese consumers have a strong preference for imported milk products, particularly from countries such as Australia and New Zealand. This is due to concerns about the safety and quality of domestic milk products, which were highlighted by a scandal in 2008 when melamine was found in Chinese milk powder, leading to several deaths and illnesses.

Trends in the market: The trend towards imported milk products has been driving growth in the Chinese milk market, with demand for premium and organic milk products increasing. In addition, there has been a shift towards online sales channels for milk products, with e-commerce platforms such as Alibaba's Tmall and JD.com becoming popular channels for purchasing milk.

Local special circumstances: The Chinese government has been promoting the development of the domestic milk industry, with a focus on improving safety and quality standards. This has led to the consolidation of the industry, with larger companies acquiring smaller ones and investing in technology and production facilities to improve efficiency and quality.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The growth of the Chinese milk market is also being driven by broader macroeconomic factors, such as rising incomes and urbanization. As more Chinese consumers move into urban areas and become wealthier, they are increasingly looking for high-quality and safe food products, including milk. In addition, the Chinese government's push towards a healthier population has led to increased awareness of the health benefits of milk consumption, further driving demand.
