The market dynamics suggest a positive outlook for the kefir import sector in the country.

The kefir market in Croatia is witnessing a rise in popularity as consumers become more health-conscious and seek probiotic-rich foods. Kefir, a fermented dairy product, is favored for its digestive benefits and is marketed as a functional food. The growing awareness of gut health and wellness trends continues to drive the market forward.
Rising consumer interest in functional and probiotic foods is fueling the growth of the kefir market in Croatia. Kefir, known for its digestive health benefits, is becoming increasingly popular as part of a healthy diet. The expanding range of kefir products, including flavored varieties, is also attracting a wider consumer base.
Kefir producers in Croatia face the challenge of low consumer awareness and limited distribution channels. Competition from other fermented dairy products like yogurt creates additional barriers to market penetration. Moreover, fluctuating milk prices and stringent quality regulations add to the cost of production, affecting profitability.
Government policies in Croatia support the dairy industry, including kefir production, through subsidies for local farmers and regulations that promote organic dairy products. Food safety standards aligned with EU norms also regulate the kefir market.
