The Asia-Pacific dairy market is projected to grow at an annual rate of 4-5%, surpassing USD 243 billion by 2029. The growth will be primarily driven by drinking milk products, with a notable rise in the cheese segment.
As regional trade becomes increasingly important, the dairy industry faces several critical supply chain challenges, including a squeeze on profit margins due to price and cost pressures, heightened risk management needs, increased input costs and commodity volatility, and a growing emphasis on sustainable processes.

We believe these approaches empower businesses to meet immediate demands while pursuing long-term goals, strengthening resilience across the entire value chain.
