Global Dairy Protein Hydrolysate Market Size, Share, Opportunities, COVID 19 Impact, And Trends By Product (Whey, Casein), By Form (Powder, Paste), Technology (Acid Hydrolysis, Enzymatic Hydrolysis), By Application (Sports & Nutrition, Infant Nutrition, Clinical Nutrition, Animal Feed), And By Geography - Forecasts From 2022 To 2027

The global dairy protein hydrolysate market was valued at US$734.908 million in 2020 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.32% over the forecast period to reach US$1,056.41 million in 2027.

Growing awareness among people regarding the consumption of nutritional products is significantly driving the demand for dairy protein hydrolysates globally. The rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as obesity and diabetes encourages people to focus on their lifestyle choices and dietary patterns. Consequently, there is an increasing demand for nutritional food and beverage products, prompting the growth of the global dairy protein hydrolysate market. The growing preference for infant formula among the working female population to feed their infants is another major factor stimulating the growth of the dairy protein hydrolysate market. Furthermore, due to the growing number of working female populations and time restraints, mothers often rely on infants and follow-up milk formulas for their babies' nutrition and growth development.  This increased demand, in turn, is propelling the growth of the global dairy protein hydrolysate market.

The booming geriatric population across different countries will continue to drive the growth of the global dairy protein hydrolysate market. For instance, according to the United States Census Bureau, all baby boomers in America will be older than age 65 by 2030, expanding the size of the older population such that one in every five residents will be at retirement age. This continuous rise in the aging population will drive up the demand for clinical nutritional products, thus positively impacting the market growth of dairy protein hydrolysate. For example, whey protein is used to treat illness and boost immunity among older people.

Key market players are also expanding their product portfolio to maintain their market position while reaching out to a new customer base. With the increasing clarity of whey proteins, their usage in beverage applications is getting popular, thereby driving the global dairy protein hydrolysate market growth. Arla Foods Ingredients launched a whey protein called Lacprodan ISO WaterShake, isolated for ready-to-mix powder products. The product has a clean water-like taste and helps deliver a pleasant taste and appearance. The product, thus, allows room for differentiation in the sports powder market, where taste is significant to consumers but is dominated by-products that are milky in both taste and appearance. The company has also launched Lacprodan HYDRO. Rebuild, a 100 percent hydrolyzed whey protein with a solid demonstration of significant improvements to muscle mass, strength, and mobility for resistance-trained older women in independent clinical trials.

The global dairy protein hydrolysate market has been classified based on product, form, technology, application, and geography. Based on the product, the market has been segmented as whey and casein. Based on form, the global dairy protein hydrolysate market has been segmented into powder and paste. By technology, the global dairy protein hydrolysate market has been bifurcated into acid hydrolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis. By application, the global market has been classified as sports nutrition, infant nutrition, clinical nutrition, and animal feed.

By geography, North America accounts for a noteworthy share of the global dairy protein hydrolysate market

Geographically, the global dairy protein hydrolysate market is classified into five major regional markets- North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (MEA), and Asia Pacific (APAC). North America accounted for a significant share of the global dairy protein hydrolysate market in 2019. The growth of this regional market is attributed to growing demand across the United States and Canada. Increasing health awareness among people in this region, coupled with shifting consumer preference towards nutritional products to maintain overall health and well-being, is fostering the growth of the North American dairy protein hydrolysates market. High demand for energy bars and energy shakes across restaurants, as well as homes to promote fat loss and weight management, is further contributing to the growth of the dairy protein hydrolysate market in North America. In Europe, the dairy protein hydrolysate market is also witnessing a considerable growth rate during the forecast timeframe on account of increasing demand for infant formula products. As the awareness regarding the nutritional requirements for infants among parents increases, high purchasing power in European countries is supplementing the growth of this regional market.

The Asia Pacific, however, is projected to experience a significant compound annual growth rate (CAGR) during the forecast period. The growing female working population in APAC countries like China, India, and Australia has boosted the sales of infant formula in the region since it is used as an alternative to human breast milk. Since dairy protein hydrolysates support the growth and development of infants, this rise in the demand for infant formula is stimulating the overall regional market growth. Another factor fueling the market growth of dairy protein hydrolysate in the Asia Pacific region is the growing animal feed sector on account of increasing investments, both private and public, and growing global meat and poultry consumption. The demand for dairy protein hydrolysates across the animal feed sector is growing significantly to enhance feed quality and improve performance.

Key Developments in the Market:

• In March 2022, EFSA (The European Food Safety Authority) issued a positive recommendation that Peptigen® IF-3080, Arla Foods Ingredients' protein hydrolysate, is safe to use in both infant and follow-on formula products in the EU. In February 2022, the European Union announced that the nutritional safety and reliability of the protein hydrolysates used in developing infant milk formula in the EU needs to be strictly evaluated. Peptigen® IF-3080 from Arla Foods Ingredients is one of only a few milk protein hydrolysate ingredients to have received a positive EFSA opinion. Those that are not approved have been taken off the market.
• In April 2021, an enzyme specialist, Biocatalysts Ltd, launched the new enzyme PromodTM 517MDP, expanding their array of Kosher and Halal-certified enzymes primarily targeting the dairy protein market. Infant FormulaP517MDP is a highly effective exopeptidase that hydrolyzes casein protein to 40%. When casein is hydrolyzed with P517MDP, it is broken down into smaller component parts: peptides and amino acids, which increases solubility and improves digestibility, making casein protein hydrolysate a much more dynamic ingredient that could be used in food production for special medical purposes, such as specialist infant and follow-on formulas.

Covid-19 Impact on Global Dairy Protein Hydrolysate Market:

Covid-19 had a significant impact on the Global Dairy Protein Hydrolysate Market. The growing health and hygiene consciousness among the citizens amid the pandemic positively affected the food and nutrition market, particularly the protein and immune boosters segment. The increasing consumption of protein hydrolysate sportsmen and their use in infant milk formulas are adding impetus to market growth. Nevertheless, the surge in active cases, lockdown, social distancing measures, international travel restrictions, and global economic recession have resulted in reduced staffing, decreased productivity in the production facilities, and created a gap in the supply and demand chain slowing down the market growth.
