Whole Milk Powder (WMP) Price Trend Q3 2025
In the third quarter of 2025, the global Whole Milk Powder (WMP) market saw a substantial decline, with overall price changes from 1-7%. Prices fell slightly in Germany as inventories increased and demand in the region softened, showing some signs of stabilization in an uncertain market. In New Zealand, prices showed on a significant decline due to weakening demand in key Asian markets owing to concerns of economic slowdown and growing competition, leading to a material price correction. In the US market, prices declined significantly due to oversupply amid seasonal production and lackluster global trade. Despite some regional orders, suppliers remained very cautious; inventory levels continued to increase, and market power was shifting toward the buyer.

Competition from other major producers grew stronger, increasing pressure on US prices.

The sharp decline reflected slackening export demand from major Asian destinations amid economic slowdown concerns, coupled with increased competition from other exporters entering the market. Seasonal production increases also contributed additional supply, intensifying downward pressure.
