Market Definition
The Lactose-free products are lactose-free food and beverages. Lactose-free products are commonly consumed by people who are lactose intolerant. Lactose is a type of sugar that is commonly found in milk and other dairy products. Lactose is not well broken down by some people, so lactose-free products are ideal for them.
Global Lactose-Free Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Rising prevalence of chronic lifestyle diseases and intolerance to animal protein
One of the key factors driving market growth is the rising prevalence of chronic lifestyle diseases and intolerance to lactose based food. Furthermore, the widespread adoption of vegan eating habits around the world is propelling market growth. With rising consumer awareness of animal health and the prevention of cruelty to animals in the food industry, there is a shift in global preference for plant-based food products. As a result, the market has a more positive outlook.
- Rise in social media marketing
The development of novel products, such as plant-based milk, eggs, and meat, is stimulating growth. These products are high in essential nutrients and taste almost identical to their animal-derived counterparts. Other factors, such as extensive promotional activities by celebrities and athletes to encourage the consumption of vegetarian products in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle and the ease of product availability via proliferating online retail channels, are expected to drive the market even further.
Opportunity
- Plant-based dairy alternatives
The demand for plant-based milk and dairy products made from sources like almond, soy, coconut, and oat is on the rise. These products are naturally lactose-free and appeal to both lactose-intolerant individuals and consumers looking for dairy-free options.
Restraint
- Taste and texture challenge
Lactose-free products often face taste and texture challenges compared to their dairy counterparts. Overcoming these sensory issues while maintaining product quality can be a hurdle.
Challenge
- Cost of production and limited product diversity
Producing lactose-free products can be more expensive due to the need for lactase enzymes and specialized processing. This cost may be passed on to consumers, potentially limiting market growth. The variety of lactose-free products may not be as extensive as traditional dairy options, which can limit consumer choices and market growth.
