The sour cream market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.29% to reach US$1,279.809 million by 2027, from US$835.095 million in 2020.

There has been a rise in the number of individuals that are suffering from different problems relating to the intestines, gut, and esophagus, which are broadly referred to as gastrointestinal problems. This is because a majority of individuals are leading sedentary lifestyles and eating unhealthy food most of the time, such as takeout food, junk food, and other unnecessary fat and carbohydrates.

However, the awareness regarding the importance of good gut health to facilitate proper digestion and lead a healthy lifestyle is dawning upon individuals. This encourages them to consume healthy food, including dairy products such as yogurt, and sour cream, among others, as these are loaded with good bacteria, which help in boosting the digestion process and ultimately, overall health. Therefore, these factors are leading to an increase in the demand for sour cream and are bolstering the market’s growth over the forecast period.

The  usage of sour cream in snacks, desserts, and bakery products is gaining traction and popularity

Sour cream is an increasingly popular condiment, that is used in Mexican cuisine as a spread in tortillas,  enchiladas,  quesadillas, and tacos or as a dip with nachos,  salads, and other snacks.

In addition, it is also used in different types of desserts and bakery products as an ingredient of toppings, such as it being used as a layer in cheesecake, which is an increasingly popular bakery and dessert item consumed in the European and North American region. Thus, these factors are leading to increased demand for sour cream and contributing to market growth.     

The rising prevalence of lactose intolerance among individuals globally in different regions is hampering the market’s growth.

There is a rising prevalence of lactose intolerance among individuals in the population in different regions globally, which is causing them to avoid consuming products with dairy content, including sour cream. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), lactose intolerance is a result of a lactose deficiency and is among the most common diseases that affect individuals.  Lactose intolerance affects individuals from different regions differently. For example, around 75%-95% of the individuals, who are of African American and Asian descent, suffer from lactose intolerance, whereas Northern Europeans have a lower rate of 18%-26% lactose intolerance. This is restraining the market from reaching its full potential.
