Market Growth Factors
Consumers prioritize gut health and digestion, leading to increased demand for A2 milk, perceived as healthier due to the presence of only A2 beta-casein protein. In 2024, the lactose intolerance market was valued at USD 11.37 Billion and projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.27% up to 2035, aligning with the rising adoption of A2 milk.
The increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease prompts consumers to opt for practical and easily digestible food options. A2 milk’s absence of A1 protein, linked to digestive issues, and its rich nutrient profile including calcium and protein contribute to its position as a healthier alternative. This trend supports the growth of clean-label, wellness-focused dairy products.
Sustainability is a growing focus, with companies shifting to glass containers and compostable packaging. For example, in 2024 Farmery launched fresh A2 cow milk in eco-friendly glass bottles sourced from indigenous breeds. Such initiatives align with consumer desires for environmentally responsible products, enhancing brand loyalty and market appeal.
