The global lactose free dairy products market is expected to reach market valuation of USD 13,874.30 million by the year 2024, accelerating with a CAGR of 5.6% by 2024-2034.
Lactose intolerance affects around 75% of the global population, including over 40 million Americans, driving a notable shift in dietary preferences. With nearly one-third of people worldwide experiencing difficulties digesting lactose, there has been a sharp increase in demand for lactose-free dairy products. This growing awareness has led consumers to seek alternatives that align with their health needs while still enjoying the benefits of dairy.
Manufacturers have responded by introducing lactose-free options enriched with added nutritional benefits to cater to evolving consumer priorities. As a result, the market for lactose-free dairy products is thriving, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. By 2034, this market is projected to reach an impressive revenue of USD 23,983.50 million, underscoring the sustained rise in health-conscious consumption patterns globally.
Investment Opportunities for Lactose-Free Dairy Product Providers to Strengthen Market Position
Key players in the lactose-free dairy market are focusing on health-conscious consumers who prioritize products with lower calories and saturated fats. This strategy is driving significant investment opportunities.
To attract a younger demographic, industry leaders are introducing lactose-free dairy products in popular flavors. Hazelnut, for instance, has mass appeal, especially among millennials and Gen Z. Launching products like hazelnut milk is a strategic move to capture this market segment.
The growing use of social media by younger consumers is further encouraging companies to invest in targeted marketing campaigns. These campaigns aim to raise awareness about the nutritional benefits of lactose-free products, such as cheese, yogurt, and milk.
However, the market growth faces challenges due to the higher manufacturing costs of lactose-free dairy products compared to regular dairy products. To mitigate this, key players are focusing on promoting their high-quality, premium-priced products to affluent consumers who are willing to pay for superior quality.
“Lactose free dairy product faces stiff competition from other plant-based food products, which has slowed down the growth potential of the market,” says Nandini Roy Choudhury, Client Partner at Future Market Insights
