Demand For Plant-Based Diets Is Boosting The Reduced Lactose Whey Market Driver: A Major Catalyst in the Evolution of the Reduced Lactose Whey Market in 2025

How Is the Reduced Lactose Whey Market Projected to Grow, and What Is Its Market Size?
The reduced lactose whey market has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $14.33 billion in 2024 to $15.94 billion in 2025, at a CAGR of 11.3%. This growth is driven by the rising awareness of lactose intolerance, the growing prevalence of lactose intolerance, increased availability of reduced lactose products, government regulations mandating lactose labeling, and the expansion of the dairy industry.

The reduced lactose whey market is projected to see rapid growth, reaching $24.12 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 10.9%. The growth is driven by the rising prevalence of lactose intolerance, expansion of sports nutrition and functional foods markets, increased adoption of specialized diets, research and development activities, and growth in the infant formula market. Trends include rising demand for reduced lactose whey, the expansion of functional foods, innovation in sports nutrition, product diversification, and the expansion of distribution channels.

What Are the Key Drivers Behind the Growth of the Reduced Lactose Whey Market?
The increasing adoption of plant-based diets is projected to accelerate the growth of the reduced-lactose whey market. A plant-based diet primarily consists of foods derived from plants, including fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes, while reducing or eliminating animal-based products. The shift towards plant-based diets is driven by concerns about environmental sustainability, health benefits, and ethical considerations regarding animal welfare. Reduced-lactose whey is used in plant-based diets as a high-quality protein source, offering a dairy-free alternative for individuals looking to supplement their plant-based eating habits while limiting lactose intake. For instance, in January 2023, according to the Plant Based Foods Association (PBFA), a US-based trade association supporting plant-based food companies, plant-based food sales grew by 6.6% in 2022, compared to 5.9% in 2021. Additionally, plant-based creamer, the third-largest category after plant-based milk and meat, saw a 24% increase in revenue and a 12% rise in sales volume. As a result, the rising popularity of plant-based diets is propelling the growth of the reduced-lactose whey market.
