The digestive wellness trend is propelling change in the dairy industry globally, and consumers’ awareness of lactose intolerance is increasing rapidly. This makes lactose free dairy one of the most sought-after solutions to add value to the liquid milk business.
Most of the adult population in the world suffers from some form of lactose intolerance. That creates a huge market of untapped business potential for lactose free milk and dairy products.
In 2021, the global retail value of lactose free dairy products was 8.6 billion euros and this number is set to grow to 12 billion euros in year 2025 — that’s a growth of nearly 40 percent.
