South Korea Lactose-Free Yoghurt Market Report and Forecast 2023-2028


Market Outlook

According to the report by Expert Market Research (EMR), the South Korea lactose-free yoghurt market reached a value of more than USD 79 million in 2022. Aided by the escalating demand for digestive health-focused food products and growing lactose intolerance among people, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13% between 2023 and 2028, reaching a value of USD 142.36 million by 2028.

Lactose-free yoghurt is a specialised form of yoghurt that is produced without lactose, a sugar present in milk that may cause digestive issues in lactose-intolerant individuals. This product provides the same beneficial probiotics, vitamins, and minerals as regular yoghurt but without the lactose content. It plays a pivotal role in maintaining gut health, boosting the immune system, and ensuring overall wellness.

In addition to its health benefits, lactose-free yoghurt also possesses excellent taste and texture attributes, making it an appealing ingredient in various food applications, including desserts, snacks, and beverages. The growing consumer preference for health-centric food products, particularly those promoting digestive wellness, is driving the South Korea lactose-free yoghurt market growth.

With the increasing awareness of the health benefits associated with the consumption of probiotics, there has been a significant shift towards probiotic-rich diets, leading to the rising South Korea lactose-free yoghurt market demand. Moreover, the growing prevalence of lactose intolerance and the escalating trend of health and wellness have further contributed to the increasing popularity of lactose-free yoghurt, as it is a nutritious ingredient in dietary regimes adopted by health-conscious individuals.

The expanding applications of lactose-free yoghurt in various sectors also play a substantial role in propelling the South Korea lactose-free yoghurt market development. In the food and beverage industry, lactose-free yoghurt is used as a base ingredient in the production of smoothies, parfaits, and desserts. The cosmetic industry utilises lactose-free yoghurt for its skin-nourishing properties, which are critical in the formulation of various skincare products.

Further, the growing demand for dairy-based alternatives that cater to the needs of lactose-intolerant and health-conscious consumers has led to an increased focus on lactose-free yoghurt as a viable product in the food and beverage sector. With the rise of personalised nutrition and the increasing popularity of gut-friendly diets, lactose-free yoghurt has emerged as a key component in the formulation of a variety of food and beverage products, thereby boosting the South Korea lactose-free yoghurt market expansion.
