Dairy blends market size

The dairy blend market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.52%, attaining US$5.169 billion by 2030, from US$3.951 billion in 2025.

Dairy blends tremendously impact food items, maintaining their quality, flavor, and taste, resulting in considerable global demand. A dairy blend is a mixture of concentrated cream and butter. They are made from butter blends or butterfat, free of saturated fats. Dairy blends include vegetable oil, which is spreadable and can be eaten with bread. They can be combined with other ingredients like sugar, salt, fragrance, flavorings, and vegetable oils to suit the consumer's taste and preferences. Dairy mixes improve the absolute and true taste of the products. In any event, combining with other protein sources has health benefits for consumers.

Moreover, the dairy mix enhances the flavor and texture of meals and beverages, including cheese, bread, and ice cream. Dairy blends also enhance the immune system, lowering the risk of many diseases, including diabetes.

What are the dairy blend market drivers?

• Rising health awareness is contributing to the dairy blend market expansion.

The growth in awareness about health among consumers is the driver towards preferring better food choices, including dairy products, which is driving the market. Dairy blends contribute to this demand by offering lower fat content while still retaining the features such as taste and texture that consumers require, driving market expansion. Consumers are becoming more inclined to demand low-fat, low-calorie products without compromising taste. On the other hand, dairy blends offer a combined product of vegetable oils or other fat substitutes mimicking dairy fats' mouthfeel and functionality to drive market acceleration. This enables consumers to embrace healthy lifestyles, allowing them to enjoy dairy-based products while keeping in touch with their health objectives, driving the market.

• Increasing cases of diabetes is anticipated to increase the market expansion

The rising global prevalence of diabetes is a primary driver of market expansion for dairy blends. According to research conducted by several organizations worldwide, consuming dairy protein is linked to a lower risk of diabetes. The number of diabetic sufferers has increased dramatically in recent years. For example, 9.7 million persons are undiagnosed with diabetes, 29.3 million have been diagnosed, and 115.9 million have pre-diabetes. Furthermore, the Indian government has started several proactive efforts to combat diabetes as part of the National Health Mission's (NHM) larger National Programme for Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases (NP-NCD). Under the NP-NCD, the Indian government offers technical and financial assistance to states and union territories through the National Health Mission (NHM).

• Rising preference for clean-label products is also increasing the market growth

Consumers are increasingly becoming interested in clean-label products as a sign of wanting clear and natural food options. Additionally, dairy blends can be prepared easily from natural ingredients and hence be classified as clean-label products, further propelling the market growth. More than that, producers may adopt dairy blends that meet the desired functionality while having a product quality to meet the prerequisite of clean-label products, further driving the demand. Besides the increased use of dairy blends, it is expected to boost market growth since consumers prefer food products with simple, all-natural ingredients. Further, consumers are ready to pay a high price for premium clean-label products, thus increasing the demand for dairy blends made from natural ingredients.

 The dairy blend market is analyzed into the following segments:

• By application, ice-cream is anticipated to grow during the forecast period

Dairy blend ingredients are improving as though they are necessitated to satisfy the changes that have been seen concerning the application of these blends in ice cream. On the other hand, the increase in demand for extravagant flavors and inventive formulations in ice creams has been credited to the application of dairy blends. Another important area of application is infant formula, where the precise specification of nutrition and dairy-based components is vital; all these can be derived from the simple dairy blends that would ideally meet the nutritional profiles expected from infant formulae. These include important nutrients that will encourage ideal healthy infant growth and development.

Geographical outlook of the dairy blend market:

• North America is witnessing exponential growth during the forecast period

North America primarily reigns over the worldwide dairy blend market due to the increasing demand from consumers for protein snacks, and especially in the USA, it stands as the largest market in the region and globally. The strong snacking culture, rising health-conscious consumers who desire protein in their snack foods, and increasing convenience drive the market further. Additionally, today's consumer shifts towards clean-label and natural dairy blends, looking for products free from artificial ingredients and preservatives. The U.S. dairy blend industry also boasts a high degree of product innovation, with manufacturers introducing new flavours, types of meat, and packaging to attract consumers.

Key launches in the dairy blend market:

• In December 2024, Kreol Travel Retail confirmed the availability of Anchor Milk Powder sachets (1.6kg) in Muscat Duty-Free. The product, manufactured in New Zealand by Fonterra, represents Anchor's dedication to quality and nutrition.
