What Are The Primary Growth Drivers In The Milk Fat Fractions Market?
The upward trend in dairy product consumption is expected to fuel the expansion of the milk-fat fractions market. Dairy items include milk and any food produced from it, such as butter, cheese, ice cream, yogurt, as well as condensed and dried milk. The texture, taste, hue, dimensional structure, and functional behavior of milk products like butter, cream, cheese, and powdered dairy are all contributed by milk fat fractions. Therefore, as demand for dairy products escalates, so does the demand for milk fat fractions. For example, in November 2023, the International Dairy Foods Association, a US trade association, reported a record high of cheese consumption in 2022, reaching almost 42 pounds per person, an increase of a half-pound per person from 2021. This, in turn, signifies the growing demand for dairy products, thereby catalyzing the growth of the milk fat fractions market.
