Cream Powder Market Research, 2031
The global cream powder market was valued at $4.8 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach $8.9 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2022 to 2031.
The cream powder is prepared from a blend of fresh cream and milk that has been pasteurized and spray-dried to create a naturally rich cream powder. Coconut cream powder is another non-dairy solution for lactose intolerance consumers which is made from the essence of mature coconuts and has a mild coconut flavor. The cream powder is generally used in the food processing industry for preparing various products such as ice creams, chocolate, desserts, biscuits, baked food products, and others. The unique characteristics of cream powder such as good dispersibility, solubility, flavor, high-fat content, ease to handle, and storage as compared to ultra-heat treatment (UHT) milk and fresh cream, enable the cream powder to be used in various applications. The cream powder is also a cost-effective solution compared to fresh cream as it reduces refrigeration, is easy to store as well as has a high shelf life.
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a negative effect on the cream powder industry as the bakery, and HoReCa industries are being shut down. For instance, according to the report of the U.S. Department of Agricultural Services, the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the Chinese bakery sector via disruptions to production and distribution. Both packaged and unpackaged baked goods have suffered, though the unpackaged segment has been hit harder due to shorter shelf life, consumers’ limited access to retail outlets, and increased concerns about food hygiene during the pandemic.
Cake sales have been hit especially hard by the disappearance of large celebrations during quarantine and social distancing measures. Bread has fared better than other baked goods categories because of its staple status and diverse range of potential uses, including being a breakfast option. Bread sales have also benefited from the increase in at-home meal consumption.
The cream powder is used in the various food processing industry for preparing various products such as ice creams, chocolate, desserts, biscuits, baked food products, and others. The rising bakery and dairy industries are expected to fuel the cream powder market size as cream powder is being used in both. Along with this the rising adoption of baking as a hobby by the global population is also expected to fuel the market. For instance, according to the Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS), 46% of the population of Australia were most likely to spend more time baking or doing art and craft. Along with this, the cream powder is a cost-effective solution in comparison to ultra-heat treatment (UHT) milk and fresh cream since it reduces the cost of refrigeration and it is easy to store as well as has a high shelf life which makes it a popular choice among consumers. Along with this, it also has various advantages such as good dispersibility, solubility, flavor, and high-fat content. Such rising preference among the global population toward cream powder owing to its unique characteristics is expected to boost the cream powder market size. Along with these factors, rising health-conscious consumers and changing consumers’ preference toward dairy alternatives coupled together is expected to boost the cream powder market demand.
The rising lactose intolerance can hamper the demand for the cream powder market. For instance, according to an article by the National Health Portal of India, 60% of the world's population is unable to process lactose in animal milk. However, the plant-based cream powder being introduced by market players may help overcome such restraint of the cream powder market since the plant-based cream powder is another non-dairy solution for lactose intolerance consumers. The plant-based cream powder being offered by various market players of the cream powder market is expected to attract the lactose intolerance population toward it which in turn is expected to boost the demand for the cream powder market. Along with this, the government laws and regulation regarding cream powder in every country is expected to restrain the market growth. For instance, according to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare India, the fat and/or protein content of the cream may be adjusted by the addition and/ or withdrawal of milk constituents in such a way as not to alter the whey protein to casein ratio of the milk being adjusted. It shall be of uniform color and shall have a pleasant taste and flavor free from off-flavor and rancidity. It shall also be free from vegetable oil/ fat, mineral oil, added flavor, and any substance foreign to milk. Thus, the implementation of stringent regulations hampers the cream powder market growth.
The rise in the vegan population globally owing to the growing concern for the environment as well as animals is expected to create an opportunity for the growth of the cream powder market in the near future. For instance, according to a survey commissioned by the Vegan Society, the number of vegans in the UK quadrupled between 2014 and 2018. In 2019, there were 6,00,000 vegans, around 1.16% of the population. Veganism has led to a corresponding increase in the amount of money that people are willing to spend on the purchase of vegan products. Such a rise in the vegan population coupled with plant-based cream powder being offered by market players such as coconut cream powder is anticipated to boost the market prospects. Coconut cream powder, another non-dairy solution for lactose intolerance consumers made from the essence of mature coconuts and has a mild coconut flavor, is expected to create an opportunity for the growth of the cream powder industry.

On the basis of source, the cream powder market is further bifurcated into dairy-based and plant-based. Powders constitute a major cream powder market share. The dairy-based cream powder market dominated the market in 2021 and is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period owing to its health benefits and less cost in comparison to the plant-based cream powder. The plant-based segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR owing to the rising vegan population coupled with the rising number of lactose-intolerant people. For instance, according to the report of the National Library of Medicine, U.S. the number of consumers who are reducing their intake of food from animal origin is increasing globally due to many reasons and this involves a growing market of plant-based products to its usage in the cure of diseases and, according to an article by the National Health Portal of India, 60% of the world's population is unable to process lactose in animal milk. Such a rising vegan population and lactose intolerant people are expected to boost the growth of the cream powder market for the segment.

Both sweet and sour cream powder segments are further bifurcated into less than 30% fat, 30% to 60% fat, and above 60% fat. The sour cream powder segment is expected to witness the highest growth owing to the easy storage and distribution that has shifted consumers from buying sour cream to sour cream powder. The sour cream powder is also being used in the food service industry. The lack of unusual taste or odor makes the sour cream powder more appealing especially for the food service industry to incorporate into dishes. Along with this, the cost-effectiveness of sour cream powder is also expected to propel market growth.
