Global Lactose Free Dairy Market Report and Forecast 2023-2028
Market Outlook
According to the report by Expert Market Research (EMR), the global lactose free dairy market reached a value of approximately USD 12.2 billion in 2022. Aided by the increasing demand for dairy alternatives and a rising number of lactose-intolerant consumers, the market is projected to further grow at a CAGR of 5.77% between 2023 and 2028 to reach a value of USD 17.5 billion by 2028.
Lactose-free dairy products are those that have had the lactose removed or broken down into simple sugars through an enzymatic process. These products are mainly consumed by individuals who have lactose intolerance or choose a lactose-free diet for other health or dietary reasons. They include a variety of dairy products such as milk, cheese, yoghurt, and ice cream, among others.
The key driver behind the global lactose-free dairy market growth is the rising prevalence of lactose intolerance worldwide. This condition prevents individuals from digesting lactose, leading to digestive problems when dairy products are consumed. As awareness of this condition grows, more people are turning to lactose-free dairy products to avoid these issues, driving the market's expansion.
In addition, the growing trend of health and wellness has contributed to the rising popularity of lactose-free dairy products, thereby increasing the lactose free dairy market demand. These products are often lower in sugar and calories than their traditional counterparts, making them an attractive option for those looking to maintain a healthy diet. Furthermore, the protein content of lactose-free dairy products remains unaffected, preserving their nutritional benefits.
The lactose free dairy market expansion is also fuelled by the expanding use of lactose-free dairy products in various food and beverage industries. In the confectionery industry, lactose-free milk is used to make chocolates that can be consumed by lactose-intolerant individuals. The baking industry utilises lactose-free dairy products for their improved digestibility and to cater to the growing number of consumers preferring lactose-free options.
Moreover, the advent of innovative lactose-free dairy products, such as lactose-free ice cream and cheese, has opened up new avenues for the lactose free dairy market expansion. These products provide lactose-intolerant individuals with more variety in their diet, further increasing the demand for lactose-free dairy products.
