Furthermore, product innovations such as flavoured milk and lactose free cheese are gaining traction among health conscious consumers thus providing an impetus to overall business growth potential in Sri Lanka.
Despite the positive growth prospects, the Sri Lanka Dairy Products Market also faces challenges. The fluctuating prices of raw materials such as milk and feed for dairy animals is a primary challenge. This can affect the overall production costs and profit margins for dairy product manufacturers. Additionally, there are concerns regarding food safety and quality standards in the industry, which can hinder market growth if not addressed effectively. Another challenge faced by the industry is the lack of infrastructure and transportation facilities in rural areas, leading to difficulties in reaching remote regions with dairy products.

Currently, about 40% of the country's liquid milk demand is met by local production, with the rest being imported, primarily as milk powder. To reduce dependency on imports, the Sri Lankan government has initiated several programs, including providing land to private entrepreneurs for dairy farming and refraining from intervening in the importation of dairy cows
