Recombined Milk Market

Recombined Milk Market Snapshot

The global sales of recombined milk are slated to grow at a prolific CAGR of over 10% during the forecast period from 2022 and 2032, generating gigantic revenues by the end of the forecast period. Rising utilization of recombined milk for various applications in food processing industry and households is driving growth in the global recombined milk market.

Milk is no doubt one of the most popular foods in the world, which has become an essential part of people’s balanced diet. However, as milk is a perishable commodity, it is scarce in many countries with little or no dairy production of their own. This has put recombined milk market into the limelight.

Recombined milk is an alternative to fresh raw milk prepared by combining or mixing water, skim milk powder and milk fat in such a way as to resemble the taste, texture and nutritional content of fresh milk. It can be used in place of fresh milk for making various dairy products including yogurt, sweets, cheese, etc.

Demand for recombined milk is especially high across regions where a fresh raw milk supply is not readily available or is in short supply. People in such areas can easily utilize recombined milk on account of its longer life span and various nutritional and health benefits.

Recombined milk is available in various packaging including tetra packs and cans. This enables consumers to choose any products depending on their needs and budget.

Which Factors are expected to Spur the Growth in Recombined Milk Market

Shortage of fresh milk across various regions, extended shelf-life of recombined milk, and growing usage of alternative milk across various end use verticals are some of the major factors expected to trigger growth in the global recombined milk market during the forecast period.

As the world population continues to surge rapidly, demand for milk and milk products is at an all-time high. However, the consumption rate of milk is more than the production capacity, thereby prompting people to look for alternative milk products like recombined milk.

Recombined milk has become a commonly utilized alternative of fresh milk during the last few years. It is made from preserved dairy ingredients and is being increasingly used for making a variety of dairy products in food processing industries and households.

Similarly, growing concerns regarding the shortage of fresh raw milk is prompting people to use alternatives like recombined milk. Various regions of the world (mostly African countries) are facing the scarcity of milk. As a result, recombined milk has become an ideal option for end users as it can be easily used in place of fresh raw milk due to its close resemblance with raw milk and long shelf life. Moreover, it can be fortified with additional nutrients and is easy to transport over longer distances.

Another factor spurring the sales of recombined milk is that its composition can be easily altered as per the required needs. End users can add milk fat or other non-dairy fat sources as per their specific requirements.

Additionally, increasing production and consumption of recombined milk-based products such as cheese, yogurt etc. coupled with favorable government support to encourage the manufacturers of recombined milk is expected to drive growth in the near future.

What are the Challenges Faced by the Recombined Milk Industry

There is no doubt that recombined milk is gaining immense popularity among end users. However, there are certain factors that are likely to pose a threat to market growth. Some of these factors are the high cost of product and lack of awareness about the recombined milk across various regions.

How Will Growth Unfold Across Asia Pacific

The combined milk market in Asia Pacific is slated to grow at an incredible pace during the forecast period, owing to the rising demand for milk and milk products across various end-use verticals, presence of leading market players, growing health awareness among people, and increasing disposable income.

Countries like China and India, and Russia are becoming hubs of recombined milk due to rapidly growing population, changing lifestyle, insufficient supply of fresh raw milk, and large presence of end use verticals. People are consuming milk alternatives like recombined milk on large scales.
