At its 2026 Q3 results briefing, Yili said upstream supply and demand have steadily improved year-to-date and industry contract milk prices rose slightly YoY in Q3 as conditions moved toward balance. Looking to next year, the company expects packaged dairy demand to recover modestly and domestic substitution in deep-processed dairy to continue, supporting a likely mild rebound in contract milk prices and a return to a healthier, more rational industry dynamic.
