According to a research report published by Spherical Insights & Consulting, the Russia Butter Market Size Is Anticipated To Reach USD 2017.4 Million By 2035, Growing At A CAGR Of 5.47% From 2025 to 2035. The butter market in Russia is driven by rising home consumption, robust bakery and foodservice demand, a desire for natural dairy fats, growing retail distribution, an increase in local dairy output, and a growing usage of butter in processed goods.

Market Overview

The Russia Butter Market Size refers to the production, processing, distribution, and consumption of dairy butter derived mainly from cow’s milk across retail and foodservice channels. The market supplies butter products which customers use for home cooking and baking and spreading purposes while also serving commercial needs in bakeries and confectionery shops and ready-to-eat meal production and food manufacturing operations. Butter serves as a common ingredient in Russian cuisine and packaged food because it enhances flavor and improves texture and provides fat content.

In 2025 Russia allocated over 80 billion RUB to support the dairy industry, which resulted in increased production and discounted loans for butter manufacturers. The government started to provide full 100 percent logistics cost subsidies for milk exports which included butter beginning in January 2024. The measures work to maintain domestic supply stability while enhancing processing capacity and supporting dairy industry development during times of price pressure.

Russia increased its butter imports from the UAE and Turkey because of rising prices and slight domestic production increases. Producers have started to change their prices because supply chain alterations remain in progress. The company plans to create new opportunities by establishing diverse import channels and increasing its local production capacity and developing value-added butter products for foodservice and retail distribution.
