Demand - Drivers, Challenges, and Opportunities
Market Driver: Rising Lactose Intolerance
• The lactose-free dairy market is poised for growth due to a projected rise in lactose intolerance cases. This digestive condition, affecting 65% of the global population, has fuelled demand for lactose-free milk, yogurt, cheese, and alternative dairy products.
• The market addresses this demand by employing processes to break down lactose or using alternative milk sugars. With varying prevalence rates among different populations, the increasing number of lactose-intolerant individuals is a key driver for the market's expansion.
Market Challenge: High Cost of Lactose-Free Products
• The production of lactose-free dairy involves substantial upfront investments, increased energy consumption, and maintenance costs, impacting overall production expenses. Extended processing times and additional infrastructure needs contribute to reduced throughput efficiency and heightened quality control measures, posing a significant impact on cost dynamics for producers.
• Significant processing challenges arise in lactose-free dairy production, particularly concerning temperature and time effects on conventional lactases. Batch processing applications may require up to 24 hours of hydrolyzation at low temperatures, leading to reduced throughput and necessitating additional storage and hydrolyzation tanks. This, in turn, prompts investments in extra storage facilities and specialized filters, requiring frequent cleaning and replacement to maintain production efficiency.
Market Opportunity: Rising Demand in Quick-Service Restaurants (QSRs)
The growth in the quick-service restaurant (QSR) segment is influenced by the increasing working population seeking convenient, packaged food and beverages to save time. However, this convenience exposes consumers to health risks such as gut inflammation, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and obesity. The global prevalence of obesity, with 39 million children under five reported as obese or overweight in 2020, has heightened awareness of healthier eating habits. Consequently, consumers are turning to lactose-free food options, driving the growth of the lactose-free dairy products market. This trend presents a growth opportunity for global lactose-free dairy product producers as they meet the demand for healthier alternatives in the market.
Analyst View
According to Debraj Chakraborty, Principal Analyst, BIS Research, “The increasing awareness of lactose intolerance and rising demand for alternative dairy options may drive the growth of lactose-free dairy products. As consumers prioritize health and dietary preferences, the market for these products is expected to see a positive trajectory in the coming years.”
