Influencing factors of market growth include rising consumption of dairy products and lactose-free and low-lactose based dairy products as well as several environmental benefits related to enzymes.
Worldwide, the dairy sector is expected to continue to rise while currently serving more than 7 billion consumers. By 2040, the milk demand and supply would see a slight deficit in availability of milk to consumers, amounting to nearly 12 million tons. The decrease in availability of milk is expected to support the global milk price which is expected to increase while triggering further production of milk that would outbalance demand.
