Data-rich and on-the-ground analysis of market size, consumer capacity, policy settings, trade barriers, and the broad opportunities in the market today.
Vietnam produced an estimated 141.1 million litres of fresh milk in July 2025, down from 147.5 million litres in June, according to Vietnam’s National Office of Statistics.
Cumulative output for the first seven months of 2025 reached 974 million litres, up 2.8 percent compared with the same period last year.
July alone still showed a modest 1.5 percent year-on-year increase despite the month-on-month decline.
The figures highlight stable long-term growth in dairy production, driven by rising domestic demand and continued investment in herd expansion and processing facilities.
Milk production and consumption in Vietnam have seen significant growth over the past few decades, evolving from a small, nascent industry into a major sector.
This growth is driven by several factors, including rising incomes, urbanization, and a growing awareness of the nutritional benefits of milk.
While the domestic dairy industry has expanded, Vietnam still relies on imports to meet a significant portion of its demand, particularly for powdered milk used in processing and for infant formula.
Moreover, the Vietnamese dairy industry faces several challenges.
These include disease outbreaks, reliance on imported feed, and competition from international brands.
However, the future outlook for the industry remains positive .
As the population grows and living standards continue to rise, the demand for dairy products is expected to further increase, presenting significant opportunities for both domestic and international dairy companies.
