外媒称，欧盟牛奶生产配额限制一旦解禁可能会引发一波生产浪潮，大型奶厂会把生产率扩到最大，以此压低价格。而小型企业可能会在这场价格战中不敌阵亡。
德国之声电台网站1月17日报道称,相比之下,这个政策似乎有利于牛奶收购者和乳制品产业。面对着欧洲停滞不前的需求,乳制品产业把希望放在需求不断增大的国外市场。大多数乳制品销售经理常挂在嘴边的一句口头禅是"国外好赚钱"。德国牛奶产业协会主席恩格尔(Karl-Heinz Engel)形容产业的发展前景时表示：“乳制品产业寻找并发现了全球多地的新市场,但必须我们继续投资打开新市场。”

欧盟认为,对进口乳制品需求最大的国家依然会是中国,据悉,全球有1/5的出口奶制品都被运到中国。
纵观全球,世界三大乳业巨头是瑞士的雀巢集团、其次是法国的达能和拉克塔利斯公司。德国最大的奶制品公司是DMK乳业公司(Deutsche Milchkontor),营收规模达到了约53亿欧元,居世界乳制品公司排名第13位。（中国进出口网）
