The global evaporated milk market size is expected to reach USD 5.8 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., registering a 2.3% CAGR during the forecast period.

The milk is fortified by adding nutrients like vitamin D. It also contains calcium, vitamin C and A, and iron, making it more nutritious than any other variant, like condensed, fresh, or powdered milk. Apart from being used in tea and coffee as a dairy whiteners, this product variant is also used to make various frozen dairy-based desserts and in numerous savory dishes to give it a rich creamy flavor and texture.
