- A Year of Innovation in the Yogurt Market 2023
Explore the latest global innovations across the Yogurt market in 2023. Our global yogurt industry report identifies evolving areas, consumer attitudes, and important advances expected across regions like EMEA, APAC, and LATAM.
Innovation in Yogurt – EMEA
With finances being squeezed across the EMEA region, consumers are changing their purchasing behaviour. Yogurt brands have adapted to the demands of consumers by focusing on value-for-money benefits beyond low pricing, such as convenience, health and taste.
In Europe, many consumers are keen to try yogurt with added fibre, however this opportunity has yet to be explored. Only 1% of total yogurt launches in Europe featured a high/added fibre claim.
Innovation in Yogurt – APAC
Sugar content continues to be scrutinised by health-aware consumers in Asia. As a consequence, consumers are keen for food companies to empower them to live healthier lifestyles with products such as low sugar alternatives. However, merely replacing added sugar with artificial sweeteners is not a universally popular solution, as concerns about sweeteners are widespread in Asia.
- 52% of Chinese consumers cite that their ideal yogurt would be low in sugar.
Innovation in Yogurt – Americas
Consumers in North America are increasingly scrutinising product labels and ingredient lists, looking for more natural and healthy options that suit their particular dietary needs. As a result, consumers are increasingly expecting yogurt companies to prioritise clean-label recipes, eg with short ingredient lists. Having fewer and more familiar ingredients can help to reassure consumers of the naturalness of the recipes.

“When I’m investigating specific sectors I tend to use Mintel reports for their forecasting, which I’ve always found to be very accurate.
They also offer really broad and deep coverage in their reports. They are very, very detailed. For example, we were able to gain insight across a wide range of business areas from just one report, proving that Mintel is excellent value for money.
So overall, it’s the level of detail and the quality of forecasting that really stand out for me.”
Rebecca Green, Market Insight Manager, Wincanton
“One of the biggest challenges we face is the need to get smart on a business or category real quick.
We are talking to clients who live and breathe their category every day and the expectation is that we will be able to get caught up very quickly, and bring the thinking that can help them.
We need to do that often in a matter of days, so it’s not a small ask. Mintel gives us a very articulate view of category conditions and does so at the speed we need it.”
Jeff White, Business Development Director, Deutsch
At Jackman, we believe that powerful strategies are based on human insight. Mintel’s leading-edge reports and insights into consumer attitudes and behaviors are an important input as we develop and execute strategy.
Alana Gavin, VP Research and Insights, Jackman
Working in a customer-obsessed organization means that data and insights have to be at our fingertips. Mintel’s reports help us support anecdotes with real quantifiable insights. The summary sections (which I really like) helps save time by giving a birds eye view of the content before spending time combing through the pages.
Our business review discussions are strengthened by the relevancy of the reports to help us better understand our customers. In addition, the customer service received from the team (especially in crunch periods) makes the process of understanding customer behavior even better.
Ngozi Ngonadi-Nkwoji, Sr. Marketing Manager, CE, Amazon
“Mintel helps us when we want to know something quickly – it provides fast answers to our questions. If we need to get a view of what’s going on in a particular market it’s very useful.
When carrying out background research, I find Mintel an excellent starting point.
The fact that it covers so many markets is a big plus for me– instead of having to buy specialist products in each area we are interested in, especially when we only require a brief view on a particular market, we can go to Mintel for help as a one-stop shop. I find Mintel a useful and valuable resource.”
