Global Milk Protein Hydrolysates Market Growth 2025-2031
Description
The global Milk Protein Hydrolysates market size is predicted to grow from US$ 361 million in 2025 to US$ 526 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2025 to 2031.
The impact of the latest U.S. tariff measures and the corresponding policy responses from countries worldwide on market competitiveness, regional economic performance, and supply chain configurations will be comprehensively evaluated in this report.
Milk Protein Hydrolysates are hydrolysates of milk protein derived mainly by enzyme hydrolysis. Milk protein hydrolysates are used commonly in normal and clinical nutrition and as a functional food ingredient.
Milk Protein Hydrolysates, with their functional, nutritional, and hypoallergenic properties, have become key ingredients in medical, infant, and sports nutrition sectors. Despite challenges such as high production costs, bitterness, and regulatory constraints, the market holds strong growth potential driven by technological innovation, diversified applications, production optimization, and global expansion, with sustained growth expected over the next few years.
Market Trends：
Growing Demand for Functional Nutrition: MPHs are increasingly used in products targeting anti-fatigue, immunity enhancement, and muscle recovery.
Expansion in Infant & Medical Nutrition: Due to low allergenicity, MPHs are essential ingredients in formulas for preterm infants, allergy sufferers, and patients with gut disorders.
Rising Competition from Plant Proteins: Plant-based hydrolysates (such as pea or soy) are gaining attention, but dairy proteins maintain superior biological value.
Emerging Sustainable Production Technologies: Eco-friendly hydrolysis processes such as ultrafiltration, membrane separation, and green enzymatic methods are being adopted by manufacturers.
Market Challenges：
High Production Costs: Enzymes are expensive, and the hydrolysis process is energy-intensive, making MPHs pricier than conventional milk proteins.
Bitterness Control Issues: Hydrolyzed peptides may impart bitterness, affecting taste and consumer acceptance.
Lack of Regulatory Harmonization: Different countries have varying regulations regarding claims, labeling, and allowable dosages of MPHs, complicating exports.
Pressure from Alternatives: Plant hydrolysates and emerging fermented proteins pose competitive threats to traditional MPHs.
Market Strategies：
Technological Innovation: Develop new enzyme formulations to reduce bitterness and optimize hydrolysis processes.
Diversified Applications: Expand into functional beverages, energy bars, protein powders, and other emerging sectors.
Capacity Optimization & Scaling: Enhance automation and modular production to reduce unit costs.
Localized Global Markets: Tailor MPHs products to regional needs (e.g., low-lactose products in Asia, high-protein sports products in the West).
Strengthen Partnerships: Collaborate with major food, infant formula, and nutrition companies to co-develop innovative MPHs products.
