China Imported dairy products are still in high demand due to the same food safety concerns surrounding China’s domestic dairy products leading to a consumer perception that international dairy products are of higher quality, according to Mintel. However, this perception of Chinese dairy manufacturers shows signs of changing as the CFDA recently conducted a monthly inspection on dairy products, of which 99.5% of the samples passed the screening 。 In addition, a survey of Chinese consumers conducted by CCM found that confidence in domestic milk products increased from 50% in 2008 to 75% in 2017. Australia and New Zealand will continue to be the largest exporters of milk to China as the preference for foreign milk products is still strong among Chinese consumers, CCM added. Hong Kong The advocacy of healthy lifestyle has led to the elimination of some traditional dairy products from the Hong Kong market. For instance, although condensed milk maintained its general usage for some desserts, its high sugar content has discouraged some consumers, and these consumers are now switching to reduced fat condensed milk as a healthier alternative. Moreover, new product developments stemming from other Asian nations are starting to gain greater attention than local traditional products.
