Various factors contribute to the growing demand for lactase enzymes over the next decade. These include evolving consumer food preferences, heightened awareness of nutrition, a growing elderly population, and a desire for easily digestible foods. Additionally, the demand for lactose-free products is on the rise.

The shift towards vegan, plant-based, and cruelty-free products is expected to open up lucrative opportunities for both established companies and newcomers in the global market.

In the Asia Pacific region, the consumption of lactase enzymes is expected to experience significant growth throughout the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the increasing availability of lactose-free products, rising awareness of lactose intolerance, a focus on health, and a growing aging population. China, India, and Japan are projected to be the key markets in this region up to 2033.

Emerging lactase enzyme manufacturers should prioritize advancing product innovation

As newcomers enter the lactase enzyme manufacturing arena, their focus should revolve around expanding the utility of lactase enzymes across diverse product lines. This entails crafting unique offerings that stand out amidst global competition.

·         For instance, Painterland Sisters, an up-and-coming organic yogurt provider, showcases innovation by incorporating organic lactase enzymes into their products, catering to individuals with lactose sensitivities. Their skyr yogurt, inspired by Icelandic tradition, not only eliminates lactose but also boasts high protein and probiotic content.

·         Similarly, Kiwi Biosciences made waves with the introduction of FODZYME, a cutting-edge enzyme supplement blending lactase enzymes with fructan hydrolase and galacto-oligosaccharides. This patent-pending formula addresses the digestion challenges posed by FODMAPs, catering to a niche yet significant market segment.

Future market entrants are poised to tap into the burgeoning demand for lactose-free alternatives, particularly from the expanding vegan demographic. Moreover, leveraging increasing awareness of lactose intolerance and governmental support for dietary improvements presents a strategic opportunity for new players to carve out their niche in the industry.

Emerging Trends in Lactose Intolerance Spark New Opportunities

Lactose intolerance rates in the United States have been on the rise, poised to significantly impact the demand for lactase enzyme. This surge is influenced by shifting dietary patterns, a burgeoning vegan demographic, increased demand for plant-derived alternatives, and the escalating prevalence of obesity.

According to data from ProCon.org, approximately 36% of the U.S. population is currently affected by lactose intolerance, with projections from a Fact.MR study suggesting a further increase by 2033.

Lactase supplements, including pills and enzyme formulations, are poised for considerable sales growth in the foreseeable future. In 2022, the U.S. dominated North America's lactase enzyme market, capturing an impressive 89% share, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.5% over the next decade.

Competitive Landscape

Lactase enzyme companies are investing in the expansion of their research and development scope to increase the scope of application as many manufacturers are incorporating lactase enzymes in their product portfolio.

  • In June 2022, Provilac, a milk delivery firm in India announced the launch of its lactose-free cow milk offering. The company aims to expand its offerings and increase its market share in India by 10 to 20 percent over the coming years.
  • In August 2021, Good Culture, a cultured foods brand based in the United States announced the launch of its new line of lactose-free products. The product range includes lactose-free cottage cheese and lactose-free sour cream containing lactase enzymes.
  • In March 2020, Novozymes, a leading name in the global lactase enzyme industry landscape announced the launch of Saphera Fiber. The newly launched product was a lactase enzyme capable of reducing sugar content in dairy products while increasing fiber.
