Restraint

Opportunity

• Inclination of consumers over sustainable production of a2 milk

Sustainability protects the environment's health and bio capacity. Individual and community well-being is aided by sustainability. Sustainability promotes a better economy with less pollution and waste, fewer emissions, more employment, and equitable wealth distribution. A sustainable approach to A2 milk production reduces the environmental impact of dairy farming while increasing the dairy sector's animal welfare and social endorsement. Consumers with higher moral standards are more likely to be interested in purchasing A2 milk dairy products that are using sustainable innovations. Regular organic consumers have a more favorable attitude toward dairy products that use sustainable innovation. As a result, many A2 milk-based companies focus on sustainability in their production, processing, packaging, and other processes.

Thus, implementing sustainable approaches in almost every stage in A2 milk and A2 milk-based products production has provided various opportunities for market growth even in the forecasted period because consumers mostly prefer sustainable and organic products.

Challenges

• Growth of the trend of veganism among people

Veganism is a lifestyle that advocates for eliminating animal products from one's diet, specifically dairy, meat, and poultry. Veganism has evolved into a trend toward healthier living as more people become aware of the harm it is causing to the environment and animal species. Veganism's rationale is to stop stressing, exploiting, and killing animals to bring their species to an end. This veganism trend brings more natural milk alternatives, so most vegan-adopted people avoid A2 milk-based products, even though A2 milk has a higher nutritional benefit than others. Since A2 milk is an animal-based product, the veganism trend will pose a significant challenge to the growth of the A2 milk market.

Thus, the veganism trend leads to minimal opt for dairy-based products by consumers, so this trend of veganism among people is expected to be a major challenge for global A2 milk market growth.
