Dairy Wholesaling in the US - Industry Market Research Report

Dairy Wholesaling in the US

Demand for dairy products will remain stable, as a post-recession rise in disposable income facilitates industry growth. Nevertheless, wholesalers will have to contend with the increasingly common practice of wholesale bypass, and rising health-consciousness will spur demand for substitutes like soy and rice milk. Further, per capita dairy consumption will remain relatively flat, constraining profitability.

This industry wholesales dairy products (except dried or canned), including butter, cheese, cream, ice cream, milk and yogurt. The industry is made up of two types of wholesalers: intermediaries between manufacturers and retailers (merchant wholesalers) and direct-to-retail wholesalers (manufacturers' sales branches and offices).

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
