In recent years, the overall refrigerated cultured dairy products market, that includes cultured fluid, non-drinkable yogurt, and other non-pourable cultured dairy, has seen significant growth in the past few years, led by probiotics and smoothies. Dairy’s healthful halo and the increased popularity of organic foods had been a driving factor in the overall category’s expansion. This updated Packaged Facts report, Cultured Dairy Products in the U.S., takes an in-depth look at these major trends that will continue to spur this market to $15.4 billion by 2010.

However, the prospects for future category growth are not completely cut and dried, as indicated by a recent slowing of sales, changing consumer preferences, and new products displacing old. The underperforming categories, such as cottage cheese and buttermilk, will need to innovate to become relevant to consumers.
