Dairy is forecast to grow at a 2.3% CAGR to 2021. Improved cold chain infrastructure in major markets such as Latin America, Asia Pacific and Middle East & North Africa is supporting growth in fresh, chilled milk, yoghurts and cheese products with nutritious dairy products fitting well within the global interest in healthier foods.
