Drivers and Restraints

Significant Production of Milk in India to Propel Market Growth

The growth of India's dairy market is expected to be driven by the significant production of milk in the country. The dairy industry, a highly dynamic part of Indian agriculture, has seen remarkable increases in both production and consumption.

Additionally, milk is in high demand among Indian households, further boosting market growth. The dairy industry also plays a crucial role in India's socioeconomic development.

However, lack of supply of fodder and emergence of various diseases in cattle are expected to hamper the market expansion.
