Dairy Product Production in Malta Industry Data and Analysis
Following a long history of stability and slow innovation, the dairy producers have been compelled to adapt rapidly as non-traditional dairy products, especially plant-based milks, make significant inroads among consumers not just for health and ethical reasons, but increasingly for taste. While some protection remains, like EU law reserves names like “milk” and “cheese” for animal-derived products, demand for classic dairy items is no longer unchallenged, pressuring processors to step up their marketing game, diversify product portfolios and invest heavily in both sustainability and product innovation. Revenue is projected to hike at a compound annual rate of 1.5% over the five years through 2025, including a shrink of 1.3% in 2025 to reach €289.8 billion. The industry has benefitted from export growth, which has mainly been fuelled by trade agreements and global market expansions, opening doors to lucrative export opportunities. Notably, those specialising in unique dairy products, like speciality cheeses, are reaping the benefits.
