The demand for milk powder in the United States is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9% through 2034. Several factors are driving this trend:
Consumers are increasingly opting for plant-based alternatives, such as soy or almond milk, particularly those with lactose intolerance or those following vegan diets. Despite this, fat-filled milk powder remains highly favored, driven by the growing popularity of fast foods like cheese-based dishes, baked goods, and desserts. A notable player in this space is Grande Cheese Company, which supplies cheese to major pizza chains and restaurants.
According to Future Market Insights, the milk powder market (Mercado de leche en polvo) is poised for significant growth, with its size expected to increase from USD 35.26 billion in 2024 to USD 51.89 billion by 2034. Over the next decade, a moderate 3.90% CAGR in the demand for Milk Powders is projected to drive the expansion, which had seen a CAGR of 3.66% between 2019 and 2023.
More people nowadays are looking for sustainable food options, and milk powder fits the bill. Milk powder stays fresh longer, which is great for both consumers and stores, helping the market grow. Since milk powder can be used in many foods and industries, its market keeps expanding.
Skim milk powder demand continues to be prompted by increased health consciousness and growing consumption of low-fat dairy products. Conversely, the market for fat-filled milk powder is growing as the demand for fortified and functional food products is escalating.

“In shaping the milk powder market’s future, the use of advanced drying technologies, such as spray drying and freeze-drying, is key. These methods effectively preserve the nutritional goodness of milk powder, ensuring it lasts longer on the shelf. As more manufacturers embrace these technologies, the market is set to evolve. It is likely to meet the increasing demand for convenient and long-lasting dairy products while maintaining their essential nutrients.” according to the chief analyst at FMI.
