Primary Drivers and Challenges

Sales of milk and milk products like butter and cheese has been escalating in line with the global population. High-end and advanced technologies are increasingly being adopted to cater to the growing consumer need by focusing on boosting the milk processing capacity and striving to maintain the product quality. The dairy sector is extremely localized due to milk products’ perishable nature. The surging adoption of technologically innovative transportation measures to maintain the quality and efficiency of the milk-based goods during long-distance transport is deemed to work in favor of the dairy by-products market.

Government arbitration has been a major factor in the regulation of the global market growth. The government bodies in the prominent dairy-producing nations like Canada are known for their active involvement in price and quantity monitoring of key dairy by-products. The government also monitors the techniques and processes involved in the storage of dairy by-products, with the aim to ensure the quality for extended durations and prevent wastage. Favorable regulations formed by the government to avoid fluctuations in global market prices and the increased prevalence of sedentary lifestyles are projected to benefit the global Dairy By-Products Market. Bad eating habits along with the rising awareness level with regard to nutritional foods among consumers also ensure that the dairy by-products market progresses smoothly over the coming years.

Novel diary by-products with better quality and higher nutritional content are progressively being introduced by renowned firms to capture a wide customer base in the market. Some of the most popular products are toned milk, low-fat energy drinks, skimmed milk, savory yogurt dip and seasonal fruit yogurts.
