In 2025, value sales of dairy products and alternatives are rising in Chile, as are volume sales. The improvement in volume sales growth follows two difficult years in which unit price increases, rather than consumption, sustained revenue. Performance is not uniform, however. Baby food is in decline as a long-term fall in Chile’s birth rate continues to weigh on infant milk powder volumes, while powder milk is losing ground as consumers favour the more affordable shelf stable milk.
