No significant launch has been seen in the Greek yogurt category in 2015 apart from a few imported brands that distributors introduce to widen the yogurt selection at premium supermarkets. The last major launch by Nestle was in 2014 when the market was receptive to Greek yogurt. With the absence of audit data, we are guessing Greek yogurt is no longer as exciting as it used to be. Even this blog has not been updating the Greek yogurt scene for quite some time.
