Lifeway Foods ( (LWAY) ) has provided an announcement.
At the December 29, 2025 annual shareholders meeting, CEO Julie Smolyansky highlighted Lifeway Foods’ strong multi-year growth, with U.S. multi-outlet kefir and farmer cheese sales rising an estimated 151% between 2019 and 2025 to about $188 million, driven by a 20% dollar and 24% unit increase in the latest period and rising household penetration, repeat purchases and brand loyalty. The presentation detailed how new product launches, expanded distribution into retailers such as club stores and convenience channels, and grab-and-go 8oz formats are broadening Lifeway’s consumer base—especially among Gen Z and Millennials seeking high-protein, functional foods—while capacity expansion at its Waukesha, Wisconsin plant and ongoing sustainability measures are expected to further support growth and reinforce its leadership in the gut-health segment of the dairy market.
