living on a substrate, made up of various dairy components. Kefir is produced by
cow, sheep or goat’s milk. Additionally, kefir, being a milk product contains a high

Growing awareness regarding the health benefits associated with consumption of
kefir is expected to propel the growth of the kefir market. These health benefits
include fighting against cancer and killing aflatoxins. Aflatoxins are poisonous
carcinogens found in improperly stored staple commodities, including corn, peanuts,
cassava, chili peppers, wheat, rice, cottonseed, millet, sesame seeds, sorghum,
sunflower seeds, and a variety of spices. Kefir is increasingly being used as a dietary
supplement, which in turn, lends traction to the growth of the market.
Kefir contains large amounts of good bacteria that aid in digestion, accounting for a
broader nutrient content as compared to yogurt. This, in turn, makes kefir highly
beneficial to the lactose intolerant population, which is another major factor driving
the growth of the market.
However, high production costs of kefir and a weak presence of the major
manufacturers operating in this field in the developing economies such as Asia
Pacific and Latin America are some of the factors impeding the growth of the market
at present.
In terms of revenue, Europe held a dominant position in the market in 2016,
accounting for over 45% market share and is expected to maintain its dominance
throughout the forecast period. This is majorly due to its wide range of application in
several food items such as sauces, dips, and ice-creams. Moreover, kefir is highly
preferable for obese and gastric patients, as it improves metabolism and smoothens
bowel movement. Further, rising number of gastric patients and growing obese
population in the region is contributing to the overall market growth of kefir.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2017, obesity or overweight is
considered to be the root cause of around 2.8 million deaths each year globally.
Further, obesity in Europe has increased significantly over the past few years.
According to Coherent Market Insights, in 2016, approximately 30% of the entire
population in England were found to be obese, most of them falling in the age group
of 55 and above. In addition, U.K. ranks higher in terms of obesity compared to
France and Germany, accounting for a share of 27.3%, while Germany accounted
for 24.6% and France accounted for 17.5%. Furthermore, U.K. recorded around
6980 cases of stomach cancer in 2016, which was mainly prevalent among the male
population. The growing gastric and stomach cancer cases are expected to increase
demand for kefir, as it is highly effective against gastritis and gastric ulcers. This, in
turn, is projected to propel the growth of the market in the near future.
Asia Pacific accounted for below 20% market share due to weak penetration of
major manufacturers of kefir operating in the region, in turn, resulting in the low
availability of kefir. Furthermore, kefir is positioned as a substitute for dairy products,
such as processed cheese, butter, cottage cheese and clarified butter, however, the
populace in the region is more inclined towards consumption of such products than
kefir. This, in turn, restrains the growth of the market for kefir in the region. However,
this trend is expected to change in the future due to growing awareness about the
benefits associated with kefir such as anti-carcinogenic properties, anti-allergic
properties, and various others. In addition, changing consumption pattern of the
populace in this region and the rising inclination towards the consumption of
healthier food items, which is majorly influenced by the western culture is expected
to pave the way for kefir in the near future.
The global kefir market is marked by intense competition from major manufacturers
operating in this market. Strategic mergers and acquisitions, product innovations,
and joint ventures, among others, are some of the key strategies adopted by these
companies to ensure long-term sustenance in the market. Some of the major players
operating in the market are Groupe Danone, Lifeway Foods Inc., Hain Celestial
Group, and Fresh Made Inc. among others.
