Vietnam produced an estimated 14,000 tons of milk powder in July 2025, up slightly from 13,600 tons in June, according to Vietnam’s National Office of Statistics.
Cumulative output in the first seven months of 2025 reached 87,900 tons, up 7.3 percent year-on-year.
July alone showed a strong 15.8 percent increase compared with the same month in 2024, underscoring rising demand for processed dairy inputs.
The powdered milk market in Vietnam is a significant and competitive sector, driven by several key factors.
These include a large and growing population, rising incomes, and a heightened awareness of the importance of nutrition, especially for children.
A major portion of the powdered milk market in Vietnam is comprised of infant formula and specialized nutritional products for various groups, such as pregnant women, the elderly, and those with specific health conditions.
This segment is highly competitive, with a wide range of brands offering specialized formulas.
Despite the presence of large domestic dairy companies, Vietnam’s powdered milk industry is heavily reliant on imported raw materials.
The country produces only a fraction of its total raw milk demand, making imports from countries like New Zealand, the United States, and Australia essential for meeting market needs.
