The whey protein market in France is similar in terms of competition, growth, and consumption pattern to that of major economies in Western Europe. The livestock industry in France produces more than 25 billion liters of milk every year, accounting for more than 17% of total dairy output in Europe. The demand for the whey protein market in France has steadily risen in the last five years and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7% until 2026.
France is a producer of both consumer-oriented products and commodities. Commodities (including dried whey, milk powder, and butter oil) are mainly produced for the local food processing industry and exports. The removal of milk quotas in 2015 has significantly increased the production of milk and whey proteins as the manufacturers have been given an avenue for milk pool utilization. Currently, French dairy producers, in collaboration with the Government, are concentrating on expanding the production capacity of dried whey to tap local demand and capture the exports market. Lactalis Ingredients is one of the major producers and exporters of whey protein products in France. The company is focused on expanding production capacity and product innovations.
Major driver of French’s whey protein industry is its demand in various food and beverages products due to the associated health benefits. The rising demand for products that are easy on digestion from the older population and allergen-free products is driving the growth of the whey protein market. The increasing adoption of vegetarian and flexitarian lifestyles is another major driving force of the market. Growing concern about the negative impact of livestock farming on the environment is leading to a switch in consumer preference for alternative dietary proteins, leading to an increased push for whey proteins. In recent years, the young population has been demanding the food and beverages that help them stay active and fit in everyday life. Hence, the demand for whey protein-based food and beverage items is increasing. In terms of market revenue, the application of whey protein in the dietary supplement industry is the highest. However, the use of whey protein is relatively growing faster in the food and beverage industry. In the next decade, it is expected that the application of whey protein in the food and beverage industry will overcome the market revenue of the dietary supplement industry.
