Abstract

Global trends such as health, sustainability, technological innovation and convenience are transforming the food sector, particularly the dairy market, by redefining consumer preferences due to social, cultural and economic changes. The objective of the study sought to explore the dynamics of dairy consumption in three of the largest global markets: Brazil, the United States and China, analyzing trends from 1990 to 2025. The research used a qualitative and quantitative approach. A literature review and secondary data (USDA) were used to analyze dairy consumption. Data processing was performed with the help of Microsoft Excel software, and through the use of Python programming and the Pandas and Matplolib libraries to create graphs. The findings highlight significant differences in consumption habits in the countries studied, which directly impact dairy market trends.
