Description

Report Overview

Lactoferrin is a multifunctional glycoprotein belonging to the transferrin family, naturally present in milk and other biological fluids, which plays a central role in iron binding and regulation. It provides a wide range of bioactive properties including antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. Commercially, it is primarily extracted from bovine milk through advanced filtration and separation processes, while recombinant production is being developed for specialized applications. Because of its ability to support immune health, improve iron absorption, and promote gut microbiota balance, lactoferrin has become a highly sought-after ingredient across industries such as infant nutrition, dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, and personal care. Its unique functional profile and natural origin make it a premium component in the global health and wellness market.

The Global Lactoferrin market size is forecasted to be worth USD 384.06 million in 2024, expected to achieve USD 535.26 million by 2033 with a CAGR of 3.8%, supported by innovations in production technologies and expanding applications in pharmaceuticals and personal care. The driving forces behind this growth include the increasing awareness of preventive healthcare, growing consumer interest in natural and functional ingredients, rapid expansion of the infant formula industry in Asia-Pacific, and ongoing scientific research validating lactoferrin’s therapeutic benefits. At the same time, rising investments by dairy companies and biotechnology firms in extraction and purification processes are lowering production costs, thereby improving accessibility and driving wider adoption across sectors.
