Fresh or raw milk is obtained directly from animals such as cows, goats, or sheep without undergoing pasteurization or processing. This dairy product is characterized by its high nutritional value, including essential vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and beneficial bacteria lost during pasteurization. Growth is driven by heightened health and nutrition consciousness, increased preference for organic and easily digestible A2 milk, advancements in cold chain logistics and preservation technology, and a shift towards eco-friendly practices. However, milk's high perishability, regulatory barriers, and competition from plant-based alternatives may hinder fresh milk adoption. Nevertheless, rising e-commerce, partnerships with organic, sustainable farms, focus on developing advanced, non-chemical preservation methods, sustainable packaging solutions, genetic advancements for improved dairy production, and consumer education to dispel dairy-related health misconceptions may create opportunities for the fresh milk market.

Source: Burgeoning usage of buffalo milk owing to their substantial amount of calcium, phosphorous, and Vitamin B

Buffalo milk is notable for its high fat and protein content, making it richer and creamier than cow's milk. This characteristic makes it suitable for producing dairy products such as mozzarella cheese, yogurt, and traditional desserts in various cultures. It is a significant source of dairy in South Asia, parts of Europe, and other regions where buffalo farming is prevalent. Buffalo milk also provides a substantial amount of calcium, phosphorous, and Vitamin B compared to different types of milk, contributing positively to bone health and nutritional requirements. Cow milk is the most widely consumed type of milk around the globe and serves as a primary source of dairy for various products, including cheese, yogurt, and butter. It is appreciated for its balanced composition, offering a mix of essential nutrients, including carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fats. Cow milk's versatility and nutritional balance make it a staple in many diets. However, lactose intolerance and allergies to cow milk proteins are common challenges for some consumers, leading to the pursuit of alternative milk sources. Goat milk is gaining popularity as a healthful alternative to cow milk, distinguished by its easier digestibility, lower allergenic potential, and slightly higher mineral content, particularly calcium, potassium, and magnesium. It has a distinctive taste and creamy texture, although everyone may not prefer it. Goat milk can be a beneficial dietary option for individuals looking for alternatives due to allergies or intolerance to cow milk. It has been traditionally valued in various cultures for its nutritional benefits and is used in making cheeses, such as chevre.
