It is a major component of whey and helps in optimising milk calcium utilisation by boosting intestinal absorption and dairy protein assimilation.

It consists of glucose, sugar and galactose molecules, and functions as a source of instant energy.

Global Lactose Powder Market Trends:

In the food and beverage industry, lactose powder is added as a coating to prepared foods in order to prevent caking, and as a filler in baked goods including breads, cereals, cookies, pancakes, etc. It is also used in frozen and canned products, such as dehydrated potatoes, soups and meal-replacement supplements, to prevent discolouration. The flourishing food and beverage industry currently represents the major growth-inducing factor for the lactose powder market. Further, lactose powder is employed as a coating or filler in over-the-counter drugs, such as throat lozenges, antacids and birth control pills. As the sales of these over-the-counter drugs are increasing, it is expected to catalyse the growth of the lactose powder market across the globe. Additionally, the demand for lactose powder is expanding worldwide as it is a major source of carbohydrates used in the manufacturing of infant formula.

Looking forward, the market is projected to reach a volume of 1,126 Kilo Tons by 2028.
