Latin America Dairy Whitener Market Growth and Forecast (2023 - 2028):

The Latin America Dairy Whitener Market was around USD 1.5 billion in 2022. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% to reach USD 2 billion by 2028. The world’s total milk production was estimated to be about 765 million tons in 2013.

Market Overview:

Dairy whiteners, alternatively known as milk powder, are extensively used as a substitute for milk, largely in tea and coffee. They are also used in other food products such as hot chocolate, puddings, soups, and sauces. Besides whitening, dairy whiteners also add mouthfeel, body, and flavor to the beverages they are added to and, thereby, improve the overall taste. They come in fluid, powder or condensed forms and can widely differ in their fat and sugar content.

Whole milk powder (WMP) and skim milk powder (SMP) available in the market account for nearly 50% share of dairy products and dairy whiteners worldwide. Dairy whiteners are products with fat content greater than that of SMP and lesser than WMP.

The milk powder comes in various categories containing high protein value, degenerate milk-fat and lessened lactose content that perform the function of an emulsifier. Effectiveness of this market includes that of flavour, with 61% of coffee drinkers finding flavour to be the most important factor in choosing their whitener. This is being seen as an alternative for specialty coffee. Various other properties include solubility, and foaming properties, thus improving the water binding properties in bakery foods, sports and nutrition foods.

Drivers:

Population growth, rising disposable incomes, urbanisation rates, ease of use and storage, hectic lifestyle, changing dietary habits are some of the factors that are driving the growth of this market. As compared to milk, dairy whiteners offer certain benefits such as convenience, portability, and longer shelf-life, which fuel the Latin America dairy whiteners market. In addition, the growing industry for infant formula is likely to offer a great opportunity for growth of the Latin America dairy whiteners market during the forecast period. Dairy whiteners are widely used in the manufacture of infant formula. Factors such as increase in birth rates and decrease in mortality rates, which result in growth in the infant population in Latin America, are projected to propel the Latin America dairy whiteners market. Further, demand from increasing number of working women for convenience foods, consumer awareness about functional foods, growing demand for milk products with increasing population & urbanization in developing countries are some of the major drivers for the dairy whiteners industry. The tariff rates on exports, effect of high imports on domestic production, growing population in developing countries will impact positively the demand for dairy whiteners.

Restraints:

Low preference of some patrons to dairy whiteners over conventional milk and milk products, due to rising awareness about health, may hamper the growth of the dairy whiteners market. The health-conscious consumer with awareness on ultra-high temperature techniques reducing the protein content of milk may pose a hurdle for the milk powder market and, in turn, for the milk whitener category. Specifically, many research studies have found that whiteners have substitute ingredients which unnecessarily increase cholesterol and these reports are gaining traction in the market dampening the growth of the market.
