Increased urbanization, higher disposable incomes, and food fortification efforts promoted by public health initiatives are also propelling the market forward, particularly across developing economies in Africa and Asia. Fortified milk is playing a pivotal role in addressing widespread nutritional concerns, such as anemia, osteoporosis, and vitamin deficiencies, offering a practical solution in regions with limited access to diverse diets.

Vitamin-enriched milk segment held a 40.2% share in 2024 and is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% through 2034. Its rising popularity is largely attributed to consumer preference for convenient sources of daily nutrition. Fortified milk rich in essential vitamins such as A, D, and B-complex is especially appealing to target groups focused on health, including growing children, wellness-minded adults, and expectant mothers seeking better dietary balance. These nutrient additions significantly boost milk’s functional value and expand its appeal to broader demographics.
The cow milk segment in the fortified milk market held 65.1% share in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% through 2034.

Cow milk offers a reliable source of protein, calcium, and vitamins, making it a natural choice for fortification. Its compatibility with a range of nutritional additives, including omega-3 fatty acids and minerals, supports its continued growth as a convenient and nutrient-rich base.
