The global Milk Protein market is projected to reach USD 17 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5%
The global demand for milk protein is projected to increase substantially in the forthcoming years owing to rising consumer preferences for protein-based consumption patterns. Thus, the global milk protein market value is expected to reach close to USD 18.02 billion by 2028 with an annual growth rate of 6.7% from 2018 to 2028.
Other factors attributed to the systematic growth spurt in the global milk protein market are growing preferences for animal dairy foods that provide high quality protein and other essential nutrient components for optimal growth and development. Moreover, the global milk protein market is also experiencing favorable growth transition owing to advancing reliance on infant milk formulas. Growing preferences by young parents for fortified foods for their infants has reflected large scale adoption of infant-based milk formulas, thus stoking growth in the global milk protein market.
Cost involvement is a serious concern and is anticipated to downturn steady growth trajectory in the coming years. Also, meeting the growing demand of whey protein will require increase in livestock production which leads to significant environmental impact, high consumption of water, and energy. It also leads to green-house gas emissions, water pollution, and other associated challenges which are likely to hamper the global milk protein market growth. Consumption of milk protein has seen a significant dip in recent years as vegan diet is becoming mainstream across regions.
However, leading market participants in the global milk protein market are also investing towards new technological solutions to reverse environmental impact. Additionally, need for high protein diet is expected to catapult new growth opportunities in the coming years as milk protein is widely preferred over meat-based protein by several demographics across the globe.
The various forms in which milk proteins are available include hydrolysates, concentrates, and isolates. The milk protein is considered as high quality or complete protein as it contains essential amino acids. The casein and whey protein can be classed under important milk proteins. Casein and whey proteins are used as food additive. Milk proteins also improve nutritional content of food products that do not naturally contain protein. The global milk protein market is progressive with many new products introduced in the market containing whey protein and casein. Several biotechnology companies are creating milk protein-based food products, with their earliest commercial launch by the end of 2021 or early 2022.
The global milk protein market is rapidly evolving with new companies launching every year and existing companies upgrading and launching new products to strengthen their market position. The key producers of whey protein and casein and manufacturers of milk protein-based product are Saputo, Glanbia, Arla Foods, Kerry, Frieslandcampina, Havero Hoogwewt, Fonterra, Sachsenmilch Leppersdorf, Lactalis, and Amco Protein among others.
