Anhydrous Milk Fat (Butter Oil) Manufacturers in the World

The global anhydrous milk fat market size reached US$ 2.9 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 5.1 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5% during 2024-2032. As per the analysis by IMARC Group, several manufacturers are currently focusing on enhancing their production capacities through mergers and acquisitions with other smaller organisations. This helps the manufacturers in gaining access to the latest products and technologies at relatively lower costs. For instance, an Indian company, Amul has planned to acquire a manufacturing plant in Wisconsin, US, to expand its production capacity and business operations by introducing Indian dairy products, such as paneer, ghee, and shrikhand in the region. Similarly, a France-based dairy company Lactalis has entered into an agreement with India-based Prabhat Dairy to venture into the Indian dairy market, thereby reducing their dependency on the European market. Driven by the increasing investments pertaining to the capacity expansion across unexplored geographical regions, the industry is anticipated to witness healthy growth over the coming years.
