Senior Vice President
Harri has a strong background in process technology and product development.
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.
Get your share of the rapid growth of the lactose free business
In 2017, the global retail value of lactose free dairy products was six billion euros and this number is set to grow to over 9 billion euros in year 2022 — that’s a growth of 50 percent in just five years.
The most significant category among these products is lactose free milk, making up for three quarters of the total retail value. Even as the growth of traditional milk market is at a standstill or even seeing a downward trend, the demand for lactose free milk is only getting stronger. Introducing added value products to this category opens a significant business potential for dairy companies.
How you can benefit from the Valio FAST TRACK™ technology solution:
- Enjoy an easy entry into the lactose free market without significant capital investments. Typically, the removing of lactose from milk requires significant investments.
