The amount of milk produced per cow in the United States has increased each year since 1999, from 17.76 thousand pounds per year to around 24.1 thousand pounds in 2023. This figure is expected to increase to approximately 24.4 thousand pounds of milk per cow by 2024.
While the global production volume of milk, as well as milk production per cow have increased significantly over the last several years, per capita consumption of fluid milk in the United States has seen a steady decrease year after year. In 2000, the average American consumed around 197 pounds of milk over the course of the year, and by 2020, the per capita consumption of fluid milk stood at only 134 pounds.
