Lactose-free dairy is a commercial product made from lactose-free milk. Lactose is a kind of sugar found in milk that some people find difficult to digest. Lactose-free dairy products are made by combining lactase with regular cow milk. Lactase is an enzyme that is spontaneously produced in the small intestine of an individual and is responsible for the breakdown of lactose in the body. It is a commercially available enzyme that may be isolated from yeasts such as Kluyveromyces fragilis and Kluyveromyces lactis, as well as molds such as Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus oryzae. Lactose-free dairy products have a taste, texture, and nutritional profile identical to ordinary milk and milk products in the market.

Intense competition in the lactose-free dairy market has encouraged market players to focus on strong branding and improved advertisements to attract the interest of the consumer. Branding and advertisement play a vital role in gaining consumer cognizance regarding the products. As a result, players are venturing into lucrative marketing campaigns to lure consumers. Furthermore, an increase in product launches of lactose-free dairy products fortified with vitamins and minerals attracts consumers to opt for the product. Strong branding by the market players and the introduction of clear labels on the products help the consumers to identify the ingredients used in the product and the benefits they can get from the consumption of the product. For instance, in 2022, Chobani Ultra-Filtered Milk, a lactose-free, protein-rich ultra-filtered milk, was introduced by Chobani LLC. Chobani Ultra-Filtered Milk is prepared with a unique filtering process that removes lactose and cuts sugar in half. It has a thick and creamy texture, is high in calcium and vitamin D, and contains all nine necessary amino acids. Clear branding and new product launches attract consumers and enhance the lactose-free dairy market growth.

Analyst Review

Various CXOs from leading companies perceive that the Asia-Pacific region has the most lucrative growth opportunities. Lactose intolerance is a serious issue in the Asia-Pacific region as the rate of lactose intolerance in consumers is 2.5 times higher than that of consumers living in the European region. Moreover, lactose intolerance is not the sole reason for lactose-free products to flourish in the Asia-Pacific region. The rise in health consciousness among Chinese customers is depicting the adoption of lactose-free dairy products. The growing knowledge about the importance of lactose-free dairy products is also anticipated to contribute to market growth. In addition, the manufacturing companies are looking forward to manufacturing products of a different flavors to elevate the taste of the product and provide a valuable experience for the customers.
CXOs further added that according to National Geographic, 18 billion pounds of plastic flow into the ocean every year, and only 9% of the total plastic produced has been recycled. Also, 79% of it is currently dumped into landfills or discarded in the natural environment. Therefore, there is a need for sustainable packaging of dairy products including cheese, which in consequence has led many key players to step toward eco-friendly and sustainable packaging options.
A global paper packaging group named Mondi and Hazeleger Kaas Company has entered into a partnership to promote sustainable packaging of cheese. By working together, they have produced cheese packaging with PP thermoforming top and bottom web, and PP label so that the packaging can be entirely recycled, which was not possible previously. Therefore, sustainable packaging is projected to shape the future packaging of cheese and other dairy products due to the surge in environmental concerns.
