TRENDS
Yoghurt and sour milk products is gaining more popularity in Indonesia since more consumers
are aware of its health benefits. Sales of yoghurt and sour milk products are more prominent
in larger cities compared to smaller cities because of greater adaptation to Western taste.
Another reason is the low availability of chillers in shops and refrigerators in less developed
regions. In addition, in less urbanised regions, sour milk and yoghurt are new to them, and
many of them are not used to such a diet yet. In 2017, more products within yoghurt and sour
milk products are being developed which indicates that it is growing positively and portentous.
Compared to 2016, a faster current retail value growth rate of 10% was seen in 2017 thanks
to increased health and wellness awareness and easier access to yoghurt and sour milk
products in Indonesia.
Fruited yoghurt recorded the fastest current retail value growth in 2017. This was supported
by the perception of fresher products since it is incorporated with fresh fruit, instead of artificial
flavours, and also by stronger competition as many new brands have entered, such as Emmi
by Emmi Schweiz AG, and existing brand have developed new products to remain
competitive such as Elle & Vire by Savencia Fromage & Dairy with Yag Go! which targets the
younger generation with functional ingredients added to the yoghurt such as calcium.
The unit price of yoghurt and sour milk products was rising in 2017 mainly effected by the
inflation rate and increase in raw material prices, which are passed on to consumers.
Indonesia typically does not have the habit of consuming yoghurt on a daily basis for
snacking, cooking or eating during breakfast with cereal. However, Indonesian consumers like
to drink yoghurt because of its health benefit which can help with the digestive system. In
addition, especially for yoghurt, it is also becoming common for female consumers to use it as
a meal substitute because it is claimed that drinking more yoghurt can help metabolism and
keep a slim body shape.
Greek-style yoghurt is new to Indonesia compared to regular yoghurt, but it has gained
popularity which is reflected in more brands being available on shelves and larger shelf
spaces dedicated to it. However, sales of Greek yoghurt remain small in Indonesia due to its

high price and availability. Often, Greek yoghurt is found in premium supermarkets and
hypermarkets which target a more niche consumer group.
In 2017, Heavenly Nutrition Indonesia PT introduced Heavenly Blush TummYogurt, a new
drinking yoghurt product with vegetables added to its ingredients, to appeal to female
consumers and the younger generation who are more image-conscious. Heavenly Blush
TummYogurt is offered in three flavours: Blueberry Redbeet, Raspberry Broccoli, and Mango
Carrot.
In 2017, sour milk products is projected to record current retail value growth of 7% to reach
IDR800.8 billion in sales. It remains much smaller than yoghurt, mainly due to a smaller
number of players and a lack of product innovations.
It is observed that yoghurt and sour milk products are becoming easy to obtain for daily use.
The most common channels for purchasing yoghurt and sour milk products are hypermarkets
and supermarkets. However, convenience store is set to record the highest growth rate
among distribution channels in 2017, supported by more frequent on-the-go consumption.
Nevertheless, distribution of yoghurt and sour milk products remains concentrated in urban
parts of Indonesia. In less developed parts of the country, with the exception of Yakult,
yoghurt and sour milk products tend to have poor retail availability. The long shipping time
and short shelf life of the products continue to pose logistical challenges for players. In
addition, lower consumer acceptance of yoghurt is observed to restrain sales growth in less
developed parts of Indonesia.
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Yakult Indonesia Persada PT dominated yoghurt and sour milk products in 2017 with a 71%
value share. The success of Yakult Indonesia Persada PT was supported by its strong
distribution which is not limited to retail and foodservice, but includes general trade. The
unique way of selling the product through direct selling also has its initiator in Indonesia, and
has been adopted by other new players such as Cisarua Mountain Dairy PT with its Miss
Cimory.
Heavenly Nutrition Indonesia PT recorded the biggest increase in value sales of yoghurt and
sour milk products in 2017. The success of Heavenly Nutrition Indonesia PT is attributed to
the good taste, eye-catching packaging, and development of new products to fit into the
dynamic changes in yoghurt and sour milk products in Indonesia. In 2017, Heavenly Nutrition
Indonesia PT introduced four variants of drinking yoghurt in new packaging with unique
formulations that incorporate vegetables.
The success of Yakult Lady in Indonesia has brought attention to other players such as
Cisarua Mountain Dairy PT which has introduced a similar direct selling strategy with Miss
Cimory. The move has helped Cisarua Mountain Dairy to expand its distribution but its direct
selling has not yet covered the whole nation. In addition to its own success in direct selling
with Yakult Lady, Yakult Indonesia Persada PT has brought back this concept to the retail
setting, and has the Yakult Lady walking around retail channels, often hypermarkets, to
introduce the concept of Yakult Lady and promote products to customers at the same time.
International players lead yoghurt and sour milk products thanks to the strong performance of
Yakult Indonesia Persada PT. On the other hand, domestic players are also catching up with
this performance with higher annual growth rates thanks to the promise of robust, almost
double-digit growth, and lower material costs due to domestic production. In addition, local
knowledge on consumer preference has also become one of the advantages for domestic
players.

Many products have been launched under fruited yoghurt and drinking yoghurt supported by
the increase of health and wellness awareness among Indonesian consumers and greater
acceptance of drinking fruited yoghurt compared with other types. For example, under fruited
yoghurt, Emmi by Emmi Schweiz AG has entered with at least seven flavours, targeting
premium consumers. In drinking yoghurt, domestic players such as Heavenly Nutrition
Indonesia PT and Cisarua Mountain Dairy PT have introduced multiple new product
developments to target female and younger customers.
The use of social media has become essential for yoghurt and sour milk products. One of the
reasons for this is that yoghurt and sour milk products are not a common diet for Indonesian
consumers. To expand existing sales, brand owners have to put efforts into educating the
younger generation to incorporate yoghurt and sour milk products into their daily diet. The use
of endorsement through social media such as Instagram and YouTube is commonly practised
by players.
In 2017, Heavenly Nutrition Indonesia PT and Cisarua Mountain Dairy PT both introduced
new products with new packaging. Heavenly Nutrition Indonesia uses linear and simple
design with HDPE bottles to give a fresher look which targets urban female consumers. On
the other hand, Cisarua Mountain Dairy has introduced a multipack of 4x70ml drinking
yoghurt in HDPE bottles for on-the-go consumption and the younger generation.
In Indonesia, the incentive for retailers to invest in private label remains small due to the sales
of yoghurt and sour milk products still being considered small. In addition, the pricing is
considered high compared to other types of dairy products such as drinking milk which has
also narrowed down the targeted consumers.
PROSPECTS
In the forecast period, sales of yoghurt and sour milk products are expected to see steady
positive growth. This will be supported by increased health and wellness awareness among
Indonesian consumers. The targeted consumers for yoghurt and sour milk products are still
middle- and higher-income households. However, it is projected that the middle-class families
emerging from lower-income households will be the next targeted consumer group, especially
for domestic players which have the advantage of affordable unit prices.
A projected CAGR of 6% at constant 2017 prices shows that yoghurt and sour milk products
has potential. Compared to the review period, a slight slowdown will be caused by competition
with drinking milk products which are more acceptable than a yoghurt and sour milk products
diet on a daily basis.
Fruited yoghurt is expected to continue performing well in the forecast period. This will be
supported by awareness among consumers that yoghurt is beneficial for the digestive system,
and by the common perception that fruited yoghurt is fresher compared to flavoured yoghurt
which may be perceived as using artificial additives for the flavouring.
Direct selling, a unique success strategy initiated by leading player Yakult Indonesia Persada
PT, may be the trend in yoghurt and sour milk products since consumers are more aware and
would like to invest in the freshness of the products. For example, Cisarua Mountain Dairy PT
adopted the direct selling method in 2015 by introducing Miss Cimory, and shows a positive
return.
New product launches in fruited yoghurt have again proven that fruited yoghurt is one of the
most promising categories. In the forecast period, the launch of Emmi by Emmi Schweiz AG
is expected to perform well thanks to its wide distribution not only to premium supermarkets
and hypermarkets, but also to mass-market retailers such as Carrefour, Giant, Hypersmart,

Transmart etc. In addition, its competitive pricing, despite being an imported product, has also
given advantage to its further success.
