Market Data
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), U.S. dairy production for 2024 is estimated at 225.9 billion pounds, with an average price forecast for 2025 of $23.45 per hundredweight. This price increase compared to 2024 is due to higher production forecasts and wholesale prices for products like cheese and butter.
The USDA’s global dairy trade report also highlights that the United States plays a key role in this sector internationally, while meeting growing domestic demand for products like butter and cheese.
Regarding the bakery sector, the U.S. market remains strong, supported by significant demand for artisanal products and healthier ingredients, such as whole-grain breads, gluten-free products, and low-sugar items. Companies are innovating to meet the growing consumer interest in convenient yet health-beneficial foods.
