The Global Concentrated Milk Fat Market was valued at USD 3.97 Bn in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 9.24 Bn by 2027, with a growing CAGR of 12.8% during the forecast period.
Concentrated milk fat, also known as anhydrous milkfat or butteroil is a high-quality fat ingredient that has a clean bland taste that is free from any flavors such as sour, rancid, bitter, or oxidized. It is derived exclusively from milk or milk products including mixtures of butter, cream, and whey cream. Concentrated milk fat usually possesses a light-yellow color and is free of moisture, chemical additives, foreign fats, preservatives, or other impurities.
The concentrated milk fat market is majorly gaining traction owing to the growing popularity of concentrated milk fat amongst consumers due to the increasing demand for concentrated milk ingredients that have a longer shelf life and need minimal preservation. Concentrated milk fats are obtained by using a physical process that helps in removing approximately all water content along with non-fat solids from milk. Therefore, due to the reduced moisture content in the concentrated milk fats, the product could be stored at room temperature for many months, leading to longer shelf life, easier transportation, and bulk storage, thereby reducing the overall product cost. These benefits have resulted in increasing industrial application of the product that is leading to an exponential increase in the demand for concentrated milk fat products.
Moreover, another major factor driving the growth in the market is the technological advancement for increasing the production capacity of concentrated milk fat. Several manufacturers have started incorporating advanced technologies that have made it easier to make concentrated milk fat in large quantities yet in no time. For instance, Uelzena, a dairy company headquartered in Uelzen, Germany, offers unique and high-quality concentrated milk fat products using unique fractionalization technologies for separating hard stearins from liquid or soft oleins. Additionally, the company uses advanced technologies for customizing milk fat products according to client specifications, including degrees of hardness, defined melting points, and certain melting behavior. Moreover, the company offers the client to reduce cholesterol, add flavorings or brittle, nuts to the milk fats. Therefore, the use of such innovative technologies along with customization choices offered by the concentrated milk fat market players is expected to be instrumental in expanding their existing consumer base and market share, thus contributing to the market growth.
