Availability of yogurt in different flavors is increasing the market growth
- The North American distribution channel witnessed a growth of 1.38% in 2022 compared to 2021. The growth is attributed to the availability of a wide range of flavors in the yogurt segment. Retailers also offer a wide variety of brands under the yogurt section.

Due to the demand for distribution channels in the North American region, this industry is expected to rise by 5.08% in 2025.
- Supermarkets and hypermarkets have larger spaces and shelves to store their products. As a result, under the off-trade retailing modes, supermarkets and hypermarkets dominate the country's overall distribution channel by holding a share of 75.35%.
