The global milk protein market is estimated to attain US$24.111 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.31% from US$18.613 billion in 2025.

Milk proteins are various types of protein, like casein, lactalbumin, and lactoglobulin, which are generally found in milk. These proteins contain a high biological value and amino acids, which cannot be produced internally. Milk protein offers multiple benefits to the human body, as it helps the body to develop resistance to many diseases. In its report, the National Institute of Health of the USA stated that milk protein, especially whey protein, helps the human body protect against various types of cancers, like colon, breast, and prostate.

Factors driving the milk protein market include the increasing awareness regarding the benefits of a healthy diet owing to which people have shifted their priority to dairy-based protein supplements. Additionally, in developed countries, a large part of the population has a hectic lifestyle due to which they suffer from very poor metabolic health. Milk protein helps in rebuilding body tissue and increases the potential of the immune system. Milk products have a high amount of whey and casein proteins. These are the supplements that are in high demand. Dairy products are used for a wide range of food preparation purposes, such as thickening, gelling, modifying the food texture, and foaming a food product. This is likely to drive the demand for the milk protein market.
