Japan's import market for cultured buttermilk in 2024 saw a continued high concentration among top exporting countries, with Switzerland, Metropolitan France, USA, New Zealand, and Netherlands leading the pack. Despite a challenging environment indicated by a negative Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of -1.76% from 2020-2024 and a further decline in growth rate of -3.89% from 2023-2024, the demand for cultured buttermilk remains steady. The market dynamics suggest that suppliers need to adapt to changing consumer preferences and market conditions to maintain their foothold in Japan's cultured buttermilk import industry.
