Drivers and Restraints:
Increasing awareness about health and wellness
Consumer preferences are gradually shifting from junk food and fast food to nutritional diets. This shift to healthy diets is being witnessed due to the increasing aging population, coupled with rising health issues. This has led to increased demand for protein-based ingredients, such as dairy ingredients, for use in nutritional foods. This health and wellness trend will act as a key driving factor, which is set to fuel the consumption of dairy ingredients.
Owing to the growing consumer awareness toward health gain, the demand for protein in the daily diet is increasing, which has exponentially propelled the market for dairy proteins. In 2019, the International Food Information Council Foundation (IFICF) conducted a consumer survey in North America about diet preferences. About 48% of consumers said that they often include dairy products in their daily meals as a source of protein. The below diagram depicts the share of each category in the daily meals of North American consumers.
Growing demand for alternatives, such as plant protein
The most popular alternatives for dairy are plant-based beverages, which are gaining popularity as substitutes for milk and milk products. Consumers are adopting a dairy-free diet due to the increasing incidences of lactose intolerance, allergies from milk or milk-based products, and a shift toward vegan diets and healthy lifestyles. The growing demand for dairy alternatives is posing a challenge for the growth of the dairy ingredients market.
Peas, beans, nuts, soy, seeds, and lentils are rich sources of plant proteins. Hence, plant protein is an active substitute for dairy ingredients, leading to competition in different segments, such as snack bars and beverages. Soy is being increasingly used in baked goods, beverages, and dairy products. The markets for products containing soy protein and various ingredients are primarily driven by natural health benefits. The growth in the demand for plant protein is because consumers perceive plant protein as an economical source of protein compared to dairy ingredients. Plant proteins also help manufacturers in controlling costs, thereby increasing profitability. For instance, soy protein can easily be incorporated into various foodstuffs without changing taste and quality.

Dairy Ingredients Segments:
The milk powder segment is estimated to see the largest growth in the dairy ingredients market, in terms of value.
Milk powder, proteins, milk fat concentrates, lactose & its derivatives, and other types (milk and whey peptides, dairy protein fractions, other proteins, and colostrum) are some of the most common types of dairy ingredients. Among these types, the milk powder segment typically accounts for the largest share in the market. Milk powder is a direct substitute for fluid milk and is used in a variety of applications, including bakery, dairy, and infant nutrition. Skimmed milk powder forms the core of the Hotel Restaurant Catering (HoReCa) industry. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the dairy industry has seen a decline in sales and an accumulation of unsold milk powder because of lockdowns and changes in consumer behavior.
The dry form segment is estimated to account for a larger market share among the different forms of dairy ingredients, in terms of value.
Dry dairy ingredients are manufactured from either milk or whey. Milk-based dairy ingredients include milk powder, casein, caseinates, and milk protein concentrates, while lactose and its derivatives, whey protein concentrates, and whey protein isolates are derived from whey. Milk ingredients are loaded with essential nutrients (amino acids and minerals) in a dry form that is easily absorbed by the body. They are used in various dietary and therapeutic contexts, such as low-calorie food, sports nutrition, and infant formula. Milk powder is used mainly in chocolate products, bread, buns, pastries, and sweets. Skimmed milk powder is used mainly in dairy products containing reconstituted milk (yogurt, milk-based desserts, and ice creams), chocolate products, baby milk formula, and animal feed. The transportation and storage costs of dry ingredients are low, which results in the reduced cost of the final products. As a result, they are highly preferred by manufacturers. Also, they are readily available on the market and are easy to use. All these properties make them a popular ingredient form.
