Competitive Landscape
Rimi and Lidl Accelerate Share Gains as Branded Leaders Lose Ground
Drinking milk products in Estonia remains highly concentrated but has gradually become less so over the period from 2021 to 2026. The top three branded companies — Tere AS, Valio Eesti AS, and Farmi Piimatööstus AS — are collectively expected to hold a combined retail value share of 66% in 2026 (Tere at 33%, Valio Eesti at 17%, and Farmi Piimatööstus at 16%).
Opportunities by Focusing on Differentiation or Private Label
In specific categories, the competitive picture is also dynamic: in flavoured milk drinks, a reshuffle is marked by Danonki from Eugesta Eesti AS losing roughly half its share since 2021, with Premia Tallinna Külmhoone AS's Väike Tom and Müller from Miramilk SIA now leading. In goat milk, local brand Andri-Peedo continues to take share from Polish import Danmis Goat Milk, indicating that shifts are not limited to basic cow’s milk but extends to niche products as well.
