Milk protein concentrate (MPC) is a milk extract that contains high level of encapsulated bioavailable calcium. As it contains high concentration of protein, it finds a wide range of applications in the food & beverages sector. Although it is majorly used in the preparation of packaged dairy products, it serves as a key ingredient in protein supplements, infant nutrition, and functional food. Asian countries are major producers and exporters of milk protein concentrate. China and Japan are the leading exporters of milk protein concentrate, followed by India and Australia.
The demand for milk protein concentrate market has remained consistent among the buyers. The outbreak of the novel coronavirus has negatively affected the growth of the market worldwide. Decrease has been witnessed in the sale of milk protein concentrate, due to slowdown in the production as a result of implementation of lockdown. Furthermore, the disruption of supply chain has affected the supply of the product to the global market.
The growth of the global milk protein concentrate market can be attributed to surge in demand for nutritional food. In addition, owing to rise in awareness about health and nutritional food products, consumers are adopting healthy lifestyle & diet and increasing their protein intake by using protein supplements, thereby fueling the market growth.
