Key Market Trends

Growing Demand for Protein-rich Food to Drive the Market

The increasing demand for protein-rich food and easy availability of casein protein are driving the growth of the casein and caseinates market across the world. This is mainly due to the increase in the number of health and fitness centers and rising health consciousness among consumers.

North America to Lead the Global Market

In North America, the increasing prices of raw materials are influencing the prices of casein and caseinates. In 2017, the United States witnessed significant growth in the exportation of dairy products, in terms of value and volume, to fulfill the demand for casein raw materials in other countries. In the developed economies of North America and Europe, the acceptance of casein protein for sports nutrition is driving the market growth. The availability of affordable high-quality, edible casein and demand for acid casein for industrial applications are supporting the market growth in the developing economies. In Asia-Pacific, India holds the largest share in each caseinate type, including sodium and calcium caseinates, which are derived from buffalo and cows skim milk.

Competitive Landscape

The casein and caseinates market is highly competitive and fragmented in nature, owing to the presence of many regional and domestic players. Players are focusing on mergers, expansions, acquisitions, and partnerships, along with new product development activities, to boost their brand presence among consumers.
