Where Consumers Shop for Dairy Products and Alternatives

Retail e-commerce gained biggest distribution share over 2020-2025, though penetration remained low, at 8%. Supermarkets, while they still account for a third of global sales, lost share to e-commerce, discounters, warehouse clubs and small grocers. Impulse occasions have shaped shopper behaviour, creating a preference for smaller format stores with proximity to neighbourhoods and everyday locations benefiting convenience retailers and, in the case of Asia Pacific, small local grocers.
