LATEST TRENDS

Emerging Trend towards Clean-label Dairy Products to Benefit Industry


Clean label or organic food products is one of the attractive new trends in the new food & beverages industry. Organic cheese and yogurt are being used in various applications such as dips, soups, and snacks. The growing popularity of keto diet for weight management purposes has also increased the demand for dairy products such as grass-fed butter. With availability of clean label and organic products in tier 2 and tier 3 cities this trend is expected to prevail and expand in newer markets during the forecast time period.


DRIVING FACTORS


Increasing Demand for Value Added Dairy Products to Propel Market Growth


The dairy industry is flourishing across the globe with developments and innovations bringing novel dairy products on the retail platform. Constantly evolving consumer lifestyles with their rising flexible incomes have increased the demand for value-added products such as cheese, butter, creams, and yogurts among consumers. The rising awareness regarding gut health will fuel demand for yogurt, kefir, and other fermented products. The rapid expansion of the foodservice industry has urged leading dairy processors to develop innovative products such as cheese powder and dairy creamers to cater to the needs of the customers.


Rising Emphasis on Dairy Proteins to Aid Business Development


The emerging trend of various protein-enriched diets for weight management and overall maintenance of health fuels the demand for dairy-based products. Dairy products are associated with complete and wholesome amino acid profiles, improving overall health and immunity. According to USDA, 100 gm of any dairy product comprises 1.6 gm of dairy protein such as casein. The increasing population following a vegetarian diet also fuels the demand for dairy proteins to compensate for the requirement of proteins in the diet. The increasing promotional activities of whey and casein protein-based products in fitness centers further drive the growth of the dairy protein processing industry.


Developments of innovative products such as protein-rich dairy beverages that cater to the growing demand for on-the-go nutrition are expected to propel the market growth in the foreseeable future. A significant demand for flavorful ice-creams among children will offer impetus to the market. In June 2020, Food Union launched 100 varieties of ice creams targeting audiences across Europe. These ice creams claimed to have nutritional benefits, unlike the other dessert brands.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Rising Popularity of Plant-based Dairy Alternatives to Impede Market Growth


The growing awareness regarding animal welfare has increased the demand for plant-based foods among consumers. Plant-based dairy alternatives are rapidly moving into the mainstream retail market. The growing perception that plant-based products are healthier and safer drives the demand for these dairy alternatives such as soy milk and almond milk-based products. The increasing prevalence of lactose intolerance also increases the demand for dairy alternatives. The rapidly developing dairy alternatives industry with new product innovations such as non-dairy ice-creams, cheese analogs, and whipped creams is expected to hamper the global dairy foods market growth.

Cattle Milk Holds Major Dairy Foods Market Share Attributed to its Wider Availability


Based on the source, the segment includes cattle, sheep, goat, and camel.  The ample availability of cattle milk as compared to other sources primarily drives the segmental growth. The better acceptance of the organoleptic properties of cattle milk by consumers also contributes to market growth. Furthermore, the quantity of milk produced by cattle is higher as compared to sheep, goat & camel, which fuels the growth of the cattle milk segment.


The rising trend of consuming healthier milk products drives the demand for sheep & goat milk owing to their higher vitamin content and lower fat content.


By Type Analysis


Lactose Containing Milk & Dairy Products to Exhibit Robust Growth owing to Easier Processing


Based on the type, the segment includes lactose and lactose-free. Lactose has a wide range of benefits in the food industries. Lactose is considered less sweet than sucrose. Hence lactose helps maintain the sugar content of a product without making it too sweet. Considering these benefits, consumer demand for lactose containing milk is growing steadily. On the other hand, some consumers are lactose intolerant.  Lactose intolerant consumers cannot consume lactose hence lactose should be removed from milk to use it as functional beverages that are made for lactose intolerant consumers. Considering the number of increasing lactose free consumers, demand for dairy products labeled as lactose intolerant is also expected to grow steadily over the forecast period.


By Product Type Analysis


Milk Exhibits Promising Growth Owing to Extensive Application in a Range of Products


Over the past few years growing consumption of milk through functional beverages is offering vital nutritional benefits to a large array of consumers from developed as well as developing countries. Rapid growth in production as well as consumption of milk also presents promising growth opportunities for dairy industries. Milk is considered very nutritious and beneficial for the consumers of all the age groups. It contains a wide number of nutrients and hence contribute largely to providing ample amounts of magnesium, riboflavin, selenium, calcium, pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and vitamin B12. Considering these benefits many market players are launching special functional products made from milk. This trend is expected to prevail during the forecast period and hence it will prove beneficial for the dairy food market growth.


By Distribution Channel Analysis


Wider Options & Freedom to Purchase to Promote Product Sales across Supermarket/ Hypermarket Segment

Consumers all over the world are shifting towards premium brands and are ready to pay more for better value and quality service.  Factors such as rise in disposable income, young demographic composition, changing preference towards shopping habits, and increase in the middle income group population are increasing the need for supermarkets in developing countries.
