2013-2022
The Yili Group is Asia’s largest dairy company and has retained that leading position for nine consecutive years.
With annual turnover of $US18.2 billion, the company has also entrenched its position as the fifth largest dairy company in the world, according to Rabobank’s Annual Top 20 report in 2022.
Yili is highly active across all dairy categories, including liquid milk, milk powder, yogurt, ice cream, cheese, and more. Beyond its core dairy sector, the company is continuously evolving its product portfolio and entering new business lines, such as mineral water, plant-based beverages, and lactic acid bacteria drinks.
As a consumer-centric company, Yili continues to put quality first with the goal of fulfilling its corporate vision to become the world’s most trusted healthy food provider.
With a global family of nearly 60,000 employees, and business partnerships in 33 countries across five continents, Yili’s products are available in more than 60 countries and regions worldwide.
The company’s diverse range of brands enjoy a high degree of popularity among households, such as Yili, Satine, AMBPOMIAL, SHUHUA, Changqing, Jinlingguan, Chocliz, Joyday, Cremo, and Westgold.
In 2022, Yili also achieved the highest growth rate – 31.7% – among Rabobank’s Top 20.
Following acquisition of Ausnutria Dairy and strong domestic sales growth, Yili became Asia’s first dairy producer to exceed RMB 100 billion (USD 14.85 billion) in turnover.
In addition to rapid growth, Yili has been making its contribution to the industry by promoting win-win collaborations across the industrial chain, global operations, and sustainable development.
In China, the newly launched Yili Future Intelligence and Health Valley – hailed as the “Dairy Silicon Valley” – houses the world’s largest production bases in terms of its production capacity, featuring the highest level of digitization and the most advanced technologies in the industry.
Yili is also accelerating the build-out of a global network in major markets.
In Indonesia, Yili’s first self-built ice cream production base has been put into production, forming a “dual center” (the other center is located in Thailand) targeting SEA consumers. By upgrading the production system and doubling the capacity of its Hokitika butter plant, its subsidiary Westland has effectively expanded the market share for Westgold butter.
This year, Yili took the lead in China’s food industry by releasing its Plan for a Net-Zero Carbon Future and Roadmap to A Net-Zero Carbon Future. In addition to establishing China’s first net-zero carbon food factory, Yili has launched China’s first net-zero carbon dairy product series, including milk, yogurt, organic milk powder, and ice cream.
