The Yogurt Market and Yogurt Innovation: Greek Yogurt and Beyond - The yogurt market has undergone a sea change due to the Greek yogurt counter-revolution, which has yanked the category back to the future. Packaged Facts estimates the U.S. retail market for yogurt at $7.3 billion in 2012, up 6.6% over the previous year—with the Greek yogurt segment singlehandedly responsible for these respectable sales gains in a very large and mature product category. Greek yogurt surged from being from just a sliver of the yogurt market in 2007 to becoming the most important trend in the industry, albeit at the expense of non-Greek yogurt dollar and unit sales.

While Greek yogurt will continue to post gains and set the direction for the overall yogurt market, Packaged Facts does not believe it can keep up its amazing growth pace. As of early 2013, price competition has caused some areas of sales growth to slow, and major players to fight a zero sum game over market share.

Even so, many industry watchers hold that that yogurt, which is consumed at a relatively low rate per capita in the U.S., still has significant upside on these shores. With yogurt growing in consumption across various dayparts, and with the broad-ranging push for healthier eating and increased consumption of lean protein in the U.S., growth in the yogurt category is hardly on its last legs.

Moreover, Greek yogurt has emerged as a platform for innovation in other product categories, both perimeter and center store. Frozen yogurt has become a big early adopter, with a plethora of new Greek yogurt product introductions. And the yogurt trend has simultaneously been picked up by the foodservice industry, with overall penetration levels on restaurant menus nearing 18%, a 20% increase from five years ago. As part of this spill-over from retail, some yogurt makers have begun to pay more attention to foodservice, with Chobani and Dannon opening up their own yogurt shops.

The Yogurt Market and Yogurt Innovation: Greek Yogurt and Beyond offers a comprehensive look at the market for yogurt and yogurt drinks across the U.S. retail spectrum, with discussion extending to the global competitive context.
