However, Price fluctuations of raw materials, like dairy milk, affect the market's general demand and supply dynamics. When the prices of raw milk decrease, it can incentivize its manufacturers to increase production, leading to higher supply and potentially lower prices for its products. Raw milk is the primary raw material used to produce it. Variations in raw milk prices can directly impact its manufacturers' production costs. Hence, the volatility in prices of raw materials is impeding the market's growth.
