innovate to keep dairy foods in the home refrigerator and on the dinner table."
Allen Merrill, chairman of Midwest Dairy, said, "The dairy community now
has the opportunity to tap into this expanded market share and build upon
consumers' enthusiasm for the category. We can do this by focusing future
innovation on products that meet consumers' needs for taste, affordability,
nutrition, convenience and accessibility."
Right now, however, getting new products into the supermarket is challenging. Data from IRI show that the number of stock-keeping units were
down by 2.7% for dairy during the week of Aug. 30 versus the same week in
2019. This is all about opening up space for fast-moving staples.
"The other big change taking place is that growth percentages differ
when looking at dollar versus volume sales," said Anne-Marie Roerink,
president of 210 Analytics. "With the exception of yogurt, dollar gains
trended ahead of volume gains for the week ending Aug. 30 versus year
ago. This tends to point to inflation, at least on a per-oz basis, though the
volume and dollar gaps are significantly smaller than they have been. In
addition to pricing levels coming down, this could mark a bit of a turn to
smaller serving sizes, as some offices and schools have reopened for inperson activities." CP
