Whole Milk Powder Market Size, Share, Trends and Forecast by End Use, and Country, 2025-2033
Description
The global whole milk powder market size was valued at 6.57 Million Tons in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group estimates the market to reach 8.4 Million Tons by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 2.8% from 2025-2033. China currently dominates the market, holding a market share of over 32.2% in 2024. The whole milk powder market share is increasing due to rising dairy demand, convenience food preferences, health consciousness, expanding food and beverage industries, increasing disposable incomes and population expansion, especially in emerging economies.
Whole milk powder is derived by removing water from fresh pasteurized, homogenized, or non-homogenized milk through evaporation or spray-drying. It can also be manufactured by blending fluid, condensed, or non-fat dry milk with liquid or dry cream. It is characterized by a creamy flavor, light cream color, and pleasing taste. Its moisture is removed, which further assists in inhibiting microbial growth and providing the same nutritional properties as regular milk. Moreover, as it is easy to handle, store, and disperse in water, has a long shelf-life, and provides a cost-efficient source of milk fats, it is widely utilized in manufacturing a wide range of food products.
Whole Milk Powder Market Trends:
The flourishing food and beverage (F&B) industry represents one of the significant drivers positively influencing the use of whole milk powder in recombined milk, baby food and infant formulas, and energy foods, beverages, and toppings. In addition, the escalating demand for baby food and infant formulas on account of the busy lifestyle of working parents and their rising concerns about the overall development of their children is contributing to the market growth. Apart from this, whole milk powder is widely utilized as a source of non-fat milk solids in baked and confectionery goods. This, along with the growing popularity of milk powder in regions with low availability of milk and the introduction of organic and lactose-free variants, is strengthening the market growth. Besides this, manufacturers are offering vitamin-fortified whole milk powder for direct use in milk beverages, yogurt, coffee, and tea whitener. Furthermore, the easy availability of different product flavors in instant, organic, and low-fat variants through e-commerce channels is impelling the market growth.
