In line with this, manufacturers are offering fortified yogurt products with extra vitamins, minerals and fiber. For instance, Arla Foods has launched a fiber-rich yogurt   variant that is high in proteins, low in fats and contains around 27% of the daily recommended intake of calcium.

Convenient and innovative packaging formats offer various growth opportunities to the manufacturers. In line with this, they are introducing products such as self-contained froyo balls, squeezable tubes, and containers equipped with anti-choking cap that minimize spills and reduce potential safety hazards.
