High-protein yogurts offer a functional upgrade to traditional dairy products, blending the nutritional advantages of milk with higher protein content to appeal to health-conscious consumers. For example, in November 2024, the Foreign Agricultural Service, a U.S. government agency, reported that milk production in Australia is anticipated to rise by 1.1% in 2025, reaching 8.8 million metric tons, following a 2.7% increase in 2024 to an estimated 8.7 million metric tons.
