The global fermented dairy ingredients market is expected to accumulate US$ 7,884.0 million in value by 2023-end.

Growing consumer demand for healthier options is a key driver of growth in the fermented dairy ingredients market. These products offer notable health benefits, including enhanced digestibility and probiotic bacteria that support antimicrobial activity, helping to prevent certain diseases. Consequently, demand for fermented dairy ingredients is expected to increase steadily throughout the forecast period. Additionally, fermented dairy ingredients are preferred by lactose-intolerant consumers, as they are generally easier to digest than non-fermented dairy, creating new opportunities for manufacturers.
Beyond health advantages, fermentation also extends the shelf life of dairy products and enhances flavor and aroma, making fermented dairy ingredients increasingly attractive to consumers and further boosting market growth.
Fermentation of dairy products such as cheese, yogurt and butter are a natural process to use microorganisms, such as good bacteria to break down the carbohydrates for the conversation of sugars into organic acids or organic alcohols. Traditionally, this practice was adopted just to preserve food and increase the shelf-life of dairy products, but modernization has increased the usage of fermentation as more than just a preservative.
The surge in the fermented dairy ingredients market can be attributed to the following factors
| Advantages on the overall health | FMI researchers remark that there has been a rapid increase in the number of health-conscious consumers and the rising awareness about the benefits of the probiotic bacteria in fermented dairy ingredients on a massive scale creates revenue generation opportunities. |
| Increasing consumption of dairy products | The millennials and GenZ are attracted to the low-fat content and unique flavors of fermented dairy ingredients, and thereby the market has seen a positive shift towards the increased consumption of processed cheese and other dairy products in the food industry. |
| Escalated demand for flavored milk | Kefir, a fermented tangy milk drink produced by kefir grains, is loaded with health benefits. This leads to an amplified demand for kefir in recent years due to consumers’ preference of a healthy and nutritional diet. With the increasing demand of such flavored milk, the fermented dairy ingredients market players experience a boost. |
The major challenge posed to the fermented dairy ingredients market is the storage related issues. The requirement for a proper storage system to prevent the dairy products from getting sour is a big challenge for manufacturers. Moreover, the frequent changes in price of fermented dairy products create a disturbance in the market impacting growth.
