Danone reports US$9.6B contribution to USA economy in 2025

USA – Danone has announced findings from its first USA Economic Impact Study, reporting a US$9.6 billion contribution to the economy in 2025.

In 2025, the company’s business supported approximately 22,000 American jobs across agriculture, manufacturing, research and development and other industries.

Across the country, every Danone job helped support nearly three additional jobs across farms, suppliers, transportation networks and local communities.

As demand for health and functional nutrition accelerates, Danone is leveraging scientific expertise to innovate nutrient-dense foods and beverages in a way that brings economic activity to the U.S. food system.

“At Danone, our mission is delivered every day in the foods we make and the communities we serve,” said Dan Magliocco, president, Danone USA. “We source from American farmers, invest in U.S. manufacturing and make nutrient-dense food — all designed to help drive a unique ripple effect on community health, on and beyond the shelf. This report demonstrates how our business is supporting jobs, the local economy and bringing resilience to industries connected to American food and nutrition.”

In 2025, the company translated its nutrition science capabilities into new products, technologies and ingredient innovations designed to address growing consumer demand for protein, gut health, plant-based, children’s nutrition and more.

For example, Danone expanded its high-protein OIKOS portfolio across cups, drinks and shakes. This included the launch of OIKOS Fusion, a first-of-its-kind high-protein drink specifically designed to support muscle maintenance and digestive health during weight loss.

Danone’s commitment to American agriculture extends across its sourcing, manufacturing and farming partnerships. The company sources approximately 90% of its ingredients domestically.

In 2025, Danone purchased approximately 200 million gallons of milk from American farms across many states, helping generate economic activity across key farming regions including Kansas, Utah, Idaho, Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin.

Beyond sourcing, Danone continues to invest in regenerative agriculture and farm innovation, supporting practices that help improve soil health, farm productivity and long-term agricultural resilience.

With a significant U.S. manufacturing footprint and sourcing model, Danone helps ensure a reliable supply of nutritious food while supporting long-term economic growth.

The company’s investments in domestic production, including billions invested in U.S. manufacturing over the past decade, continue to help strengthen supply chain resilience, support American jobs and drive innovation.

Through investments in American manufacturing, agriculture and nutrition innovation, Danone remains committed to driving economic growth while increasing access to nutrient-dense foods.

Danone views this work not as one moment in time, but rather as a long-term effort to help strengthen both the health and prosperity of communities across the country.
