The products that are produced or contain the milk of mammals, such as cows, buffaloes, and goats, among others, are called dairy ingredients.

Dairy ingredients market drivers:

Dairy products are considered an important source of nutrients

Dairy products and milk are considered nutrient-dense foods, supplying energy, protein, and micronutrients such as calcium, selenium, vitamin B12, B5, and magnesium, which are essential in reducing malnutrition and hunger. Many countries have even recommended dietary guidelines for dairy products as a component of a balanced diet. On the global stage, milk contributes, on average, 134 kcal of energy and 8.3g of protein per capita per day to the global energy supply. In addition, it is the fifth-largest provider of energy and the third-largest provider of protein and fat to human beings.

The major economies like China, Japan, India, and South Korea dominate the Asia-Pacific region. Some of the fastest-growing emerging economies are from this region, such as ASEAN countries.

The dairy ingredients market in the Asia-Pacific is estimated to hold a significant share.
