The global buttermilk powder market is expected to reach USD 4.68 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing use of buttermilk powder in various food and beverage applications, such as recombined milk, UHT milk, dairy spreads, infant formula, desserts, bakery products, soups, sauces, flavored milk, and ready-to-drink milk, is a significant industry trend. This growth is driven by the rising consumer demand for ready-to-eat and convenience foods, with buttermilk powder enhancing flavor, texture, and nutritional value.
Buttermilk powder's emulsification properties and creamy flavor benefit the bakery and confectionery segments. Innovations in food processing and new product formulations, including potential hybrid products combining dairy and plant-based ingredients, present opportunities for manufacturers. Advances in production technology, such as improved spray drying techniques, are enhancing the quality and efficiency of buttermilk powder, leading to better heat stability and emulsification properties. These innovations support the production of high-quality, UHT-grade products that meet stringent food safety standards.
Investment in research and development, focusing on drying technology and clean-label products, is driving market growth. A robust distribution network and the presence of major food and beverage manufacturers ensure a steady supply and widespread availability. The growing awareness and demand for sustainable and ethically produced food products further boost the market, with U.S. producers focusing on sustainable practices. These factors combined are expected to maintain the leading position of buttermilk powder in global sales throughout the forecast period.
