Ornua Report Details Global Dairy Supply Surge and Price Headwinds
What happened
Ornua released a report analyzing global dairy market trends, noting that global milk production is forecast to grow 2.2% in 2026 before moderating to 1% in 2027. The report highlights strong international output, including record levels in New Zealand and a 12% year-to-date increase in Uruguay. Although skim milk powder and cheese prices rose through September, the report states that significant fourth-quarter price surges are unlikely due to inflation headwinds.

Why it matters
The global surge in milk supplies presents both risks and opportunities for the dairy industry. While U.S. domestic milk output is projected to grow 2.2%, the overall increase in international production is expected to temper near-term price growth. The report also notes that the European Union’s annual production forecast was revised upward to 1.9% following stronger fall production in France and Germany.
