Rising Prevalence of Lactose Intolerance is driving the growth of the Global Goat Milk Market

The rising prevalence of lactose intolerance is significantly driving the global goat milk market as more consumers seek dairy alternatives that are easier to digest. Goat milk, known for its lower lactose content compared to cow milk, offers a viable option for those with lactose intolerance, allowing them to enjoy dairy without experiencing the discomfort and digestive issues associated with lactose consumption. This increasing awareness and demand for goat milk are further propelled by its perceived health benefits, such as higher levels of certain vitamins and minerals, and a more favorable protein structure that is gentler on the stomach. Also, the growing trend of health-conscious consumers and the popularity of natural and organic products have amplified the appeal of goat milk. Consequently, dairy producers are expanding their goat milk product lines to cater to this burgeoning market, leading to a robust growth trajectory for the global goat milk market. As more people recognize the advantages of goat milk over traditional cow milk, particularly in terms of digestibility and nutrition, the market is expected to continue its upward momentum, driven by the ever-increasing number of lactose-intolerant individuals worldwide.

For instance, in March 2024, according to an article published in fast&up, milk and dairy products have long been integral to the Indian diet. People in India regularly drink milk, add it to their tea and coffee, and use it to make a variety of sweets and other dishes. Given the omnipresence of milk and dairy in the Indian culinary tradition, one might assume that lactose-related conditions, such as lactose intolerance, would be rare among Indians. However, multiple studies and surveys have revealed a surprising fact: approximately 60% of the Indian population is lactose intolerant. This indicates that despite the widespread consumption of milk and dairy products, lactose intolerance remains a prevalent condition in India. Worldwide, about 65% of people experience some form of lactose intolerance as they age past infancy, but there are significant differences between populations and regions. As few as 5% of northern Europeans are lactose intolerant, while as many as 90% of adults in parts of Asia are lactose intolerant.
