Additionally, developing new packaging solutions to extend milk's shelf life and reduce waste offers significant growth potential. The nature of the market is dynamic and competitive, characterized by constant shifts in consumer preferences and technological advancements. Companies can achieve sustained growth by investing in consumer education initiatives regarding health benefits, expanding distribution networks in emerging economies, and fostering collaborations with technology providers to streamline operations and reduce their carbon footprint. Overall, by addressing sustainability issues and evolving consumer demands, businesses can position themselves strategically to capitalize on the fresh milk market's growth potential.
