Lactose Production Cost Analysis

Report Overview:

Lactose is a milk sugar made up of galactose, glucose and two sugar molecules that use sugar as an energy source for acid production. It is a significant component of whey and assists in optimizing milk calcium by enhancing intestinal absorption and dairy protein assimilation. In recent years, lactose has gained momentum due to the escalating consumption of nutritious food and beverages on account of the rising lactose intolerance and health consciousness among the masses.

One of the primary factors driving the market is the exponentially growing food and beverage industry. Additionally, lactose is one of the major dairy ingredients with various applications in different industry verticals, such as the food industry for producing creams, bakery products and confectioneries. It is also used in the feed industry significantly as an ingredient for pig feed, thereby creating a positive market outlook. Other than this, the extensive utilization of this product in the production of infant formula is positively influencing the market growth. Besides this, lactose is extensively utilized in the production of excipients or fillers in the pharmaceutical industry. Along with this, with the augmenting demand for calcium-fortified beverages among consumers, key players are expanding their portfolio of lactose-based products. They are also increasing research and development (R&D) activities and engaging in new product launches to expand their consumer base. Apart from these factors, the constantly rising demand for lactose powder worldwide, is strengthening the market growth. Furthermore, the widespread adoption of lactose-based derivates, such as lactitol and lactobionic acid, in cosmetic skin and hair care products due to their moisturizing, cleansing, and antioxidant properties is boosting the product demand. Moreover, the usage of lactobionic acid assists in healing wounds, and is beneficial for skin, hair, nails, and oral cavity and gums, thereby creating lucrative growth opportunities for the key players. Other major growth-inducing factors include the increasing disposable incomes and the rising living standards, especially in developing nations.
