Report Description

The global pharmaceutical grade lactose market size was valued at USD 237.52 Million in 2022 and is expected to surpass USD 352.98 Million by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period, 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing product demand for infant formulation which has excellent characteristics such as iron absorption, production of cytokines, and immune cell activation.

Pharmaceutical grade lactose is a form of disaccharide sugar comprising glucose and galactose subunits. Lactose has multiple health benefits in the fields of calcium content contributing to strong bone structures for the host and protein supplements used by gym and fitness enthusiasts. The increasing demand for lactose in the manufacturing process of infant food is creating immense possibilities for the market in the coming years.

Pharmaceutical Grade Lactose Market Outlook

Lactose has a mild flavor along with easy handling properties leading it to the usage of stabilizers and carriers for pharmaceutical and aroma products. It has also been found in various industrial applications. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 30% of the total world population does not have access to lactose nutrients and another 15% of the population is unable to digest lactose and use substitute variants for nutrition.

The market report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic has boosted the market demand, as the essential products and their manufacturing were not affected during that time. The demand for Dairy items was on top during the pandemic. Moreover, due to the shortage in the supply chain process, product prices went upward which resulted in a growth in the market.

For instance, according to GlobalDairyTrade, there was a boost in the price of lactose which was USD 1390 by December 2021, as compared to USD 1087 in October 2020.

Pharmaceutical Grade Lactose Market Dynamics

Major Drivers

Increase in spending and investment by the companies towards pharmaceutical grade lactose is the primary reason for the projection of boosting the market growth during the forecast period.
