Statistics show that 99.8% of the yogurt consumed in the U.S. is produced within the country, while only 0.2% is imported. Nevertheless, total imports of yogurt increased 500% from 2002 to 2008. In addition, the base number of a few million dollars in imports can show a big increase in imports with only a tiny increase relative to the total market. Therefore, this increase may not be a good indicator of a developing trend.

Manufacturers, marketers, and retailers have already been seeking to capitalize on this segment. This segment is a perfect opportunity for the yogurt market to grow, because it operates in conjunction with the trends of health and wellness.
