The lactose-free products market has witnessed significant growth, with an estimated value of USD 12.1 billion in 2020, projected to reach USD 18.4 billion by 2025, and a CAGR of 8.7% in terms of value. Several factors are contributing to this growth, including increased consumer awareness of lactose intolerance and a rising demand for reduced or no added sugar products.
However, the market faces challenges such as the high cost of lactose-free products and stiff competition from plant-based alternatives.
Within the market, the cheese segment is expected to experience substantial growth due to growing consumer interest in lactose-free cheese as an ingredient in the food industry. Lactose-free cheese offers similar nutritive values to regular cheese and is a popular breakfast ingredient, often consumed with bread, providing a natural and authentic taste.
In terms of product form, the lactose-free products market is segmented into organic and inorganic. Inorganic products are more widely adopted due to their lower cost and simpler processing compared to organic alternatives.
The price of inorganic lactose-free milk, for instance, is approximately half that of organic lactose-free milk, making it appealing to consumers seeking more affordable options.
