The main types are lactose-free products and lactose-reduced products. Lactose is a type of sugar found in milk products that can be difficult for some people to digest, and lactose-free food is a commercial product that is free of lactose. The applications of lactose free food are in milk, cheese, yogurt, ice-cream, non-dairy products, and others.

An increasing number of people with lactose intolerance are expected to contribute to the higher demand for lactose-free food products. Lactose intolerance is a digestive syndrome caused by the inability to digest lactose, a carbohydrate found in dairy products. According to the National Library of Medicine, approximately 65% to 90% of adults are affected by lactose intolerance. Moreover, in Europe, 5% to 15% of the population is lactose intolerant. Therefore, an increasing number of people with lactose intolerance is anticipated to drive the demand for lactose-free food over the forecast period. Major players in the market are Arla Foods, McNeil Nutritionals, OMIRA Oberland-Milchverwertung (OMIRA), Parmalat, Valio, Alpro, Amy's Kitchen, Barry Callebaut, Cargill, and Chr. Hansen.1 The stiff competition from dairy alternatives is expected to limit the growth of the lactose-free food market. The availability of various dairy alternatives such as cheese, butter, ice-creams, milk made from soy, rice, almond, and other non-dairy ingredients is likely to take over the share of lactose-free food products. For instance, in 2020, global milk production reached nearly 906 million tonnes, up 2.1% from 2019. In addition to this, in 2020, international dairy trade increased by 1.2% to nearly 79 million tonnes (milk equivalent), principally due to increased imports by a few countries, namely China, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, and Brazil. Therefore, competition from dairy products is expected to hinder the growth of the lactose-free food market during the period. The launch of new lactose-free products is a leading trend contributing to the market's expansion. In June 2022, Provilac, an India-based premium milk home delivery company, announced the launch of free-cow milk for those with a sensitive digestive system.
