Revenue of Inner Mongolia Yili Industrial Group 2012-2022
Dairy industry in China
The Chinese dairy industry produces approximately 31 million metric tons of cow’s milk per year. While the number of dairy cows is projected to see a slight growth in the coming years, the productivity per cow as well as milk quality is expected to continue to improve. Privatization regulations, dairy corporate support and dairy farm expansion are among state priorities that help to boost the dairy market in China. The traditional dairy-free Chinese diet has been changing and milk products are becoming a daily norm, especially in the northwest region and major cities across the country. In 2022, the retail sales volume of dairy products is estimated to reach 37.3 million metric tons.
