Global Lactose-Free Dairy Products Market: Drivers and Restraints

The rise in consumption of organic food and beverages is a crucial driver of the global lactose-free dairy products market. This can be attributed to the growing awareness about the adverse effects of unethical and synthetic ingredients used in non-organic foods. Many economically developed nations have implemented stringent laws to ensure high-quality production of organic milk. This has developed trust in the minds of consumers about lactose-free dairy products.

The increasing fascination among consumers for lactose-free dairy products has resulted in variety in the product line. Consumers expect variety in their dairy products such as yoghurt, flavored milk, sugar-free products, and cheese.

The constantly growing lactose-intolerant population is a key driver for the global lactose-free dairy products market. Lactose intolerance is quite prevalent among Latinos. The number of people with this health condition are increasing in other parts of the world, too.

Another factor that propels the global lactose-free dairy products market is the expanding migrant population in some African and Asia countries. People from North America, Europe, North Africa, and Russia have higher tendencies of lactose malabsorption. 

The purchasing power of the consumers has risen drastically in some parts of the world, especially the developing economies. This has triggered consumer’s interest for premium food products.

When it comes to challenges, taste has remained a constant concern for consumers. Lactose-free products contain arylsulfatase, which converts natural ingredients of milk into paracresol. This gives the lactose-free product an undesirable taste.

The global lactose-free dairy market is divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Latin America. Europe is expected to hold the highest share of the global lactose-free dairy products market. Milk production in this region is high. North America is projected to witness a stable growth. The demand for cream-based products and yoghurt in this region will push the demand. Lactose-free dairy products have become a prominent part of supermarkets in the U.S. The rising migrant population in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region is believed to boost the Asia Pacific region. The growing lactose intolerant population in China and Japan is also considered as push for the market in this region.
