Lactose is naturally found in milk and milk-based products. It is a vital component of whey and aids in optimizing milk calcium usage by improving intestinal absorption and dairy protein assimilation. Lactose powder is a white, inert and water-soluble substance that is obtained from milk and has a pH value of seven. It comprises sugar, glucose and galactose molecules, and functions as an excellent source of instant energy. Currently, there is an increase in the consumption of nutritious food and beverages on account of the rising health consciousness among consumers. This, in turn, is spurring the demand for lactose powder across the globe.

The thriving food and beverage industry is one of the key factors driving the market growth. Lactose powder is easily available, cost-effective and has a low level of sweetness, owing to which it is widely utilized as a filler in various bakery and confectionery products such as bread, cookies, cereals and pancakes. It is also employed in frozen and canned products including soups, dehydrated potatoes and meal-replacement supplements to prevent discoloration. Apart from this, it is utilized in the pharmaceutical industry as a coating in over-the-counter (OTC) drugs such as antacids, throat lozenges and birth control pills. Furthermore, owing to the rising demand for calcium-fortified beverages among consumers, manufacturers are focusing on diversifying their portfolio of lactose-based products.
