SIAL Paris 2026: The dairy products sector, driving opportunities for exhibitors
The dairy products sector is now a strategic pillar of the global agri-food industry, offering exhibitors a unique opportunity to position themselves in fast-growing markets
With global production set to reach 950 million tonnes by 2022 and consumption expected to rise by 14% between now and 2032, this dynamic sector is attracting the attention of the industry’s key players. To support industry professionals, the Centre National Interprofessionnel de l’Économie Laitière (CNIEL) and SIAL Paris are providing an exclusive white paper detailing market trends, prospects and key issues.
A strategic opportunity for exhibitors
Exhibitors who choose to position themselves in the dairy products sector at SIAL Paris are gaining access to rapidly expanding markets, particularly in Asia and Africa, where demand continues to grow. These regions, identified as drivers of global growth, offer countless opportunities for dairy products, especially cheese, liquid milk and butter. The white paper highlights these dynamics, enabling exhibitors to better understand the specific needs of these markets and effectively target their offerings.
At the same time, the foodservice channel is emerging as a key growth driver. With sales expected to grow by 15% between now and 2028, exhibitors at SIAL Paris can exploit this segment to strengthen their presence and capture new market share, while meeting growing demand for practical, innovative products.
A sustainable commitment to stand out
Exhibitors in the dairy sector also have the opportunity to meet the expectations of consumers who are increasingly sensitive to environmental issues. In 2024, 63% of consumers preferred products with a low environmental impact, while 4 out of 10 changed their purchasing habits for ethical or climatic reasons. Through their commitment to sustainability, whether it’s reducing greenhouse gas emissions, respecting animal welfare or innovating with packaging, exhibitors can promote their approach and stand out in a competitive market.
The white paper explores these trends in detail and highlights what industry leaders are doing to build a sustainable sector. Exhibitors can use these analyses to refine their strategy and strengthen their credibility with decision-makers at SIAL Paris.
For exhibitors, the white paper proposed by CNIEL and SIAL Paris is a valuable resource. It provides detailed data, strategic insights and concrete ways to capitalise on the opportunities offered by the dairy sector. Based on this information, exhibitors can better prepare their participation, adapt their offers and maximise their impact.
