Demand for Demineralized Whey Powder Ingredients Grows as Consumer Awareness and Acceptance Rise

Demineralized whey is a free-flowing, yellowish powder that has no discernible foreign odor. This powder is made from fresh pasteurized whey and is a commonly used ingredient for a number of applications in the food industry, including chocolates, confectionery, bakery, desserts and ice creams, and dairy drinks. One of the most significant applications of demineralized whey, however, is infant and baby formula and it is the growing demand for infant formula that is primarily driving the global market for demineralized whey powder ingredients.

Q. How is the infant formula application segment single-handedly driving the market for demineralized whey powder ingredients?

A. Demineralized whey powder ingredients are being increasingly used in the production of infant formulas since the proportion of lactose, protein, and essential minerals is as close as it can possibly get to the composition of breast milk. The surging birth rates across the globe, combined with the ever-rising demand for infant formula, especially in developed and developing regions, have significantly impacted the demineralized whey powder ingredient market.

Realizing the potential this application segment presents, a number of leading players in the market have shown a remarkable rise in interest. Surrey-based Dairy Crest’s partnership with New Zealand dairy giant Fonterra; the expansion of German dairy company Hochwald’s new production plant in Hunfeld, central Germany, to increase its supply of demineralized whey powder ingredients to the global baby and infant food industry; and Fonterra setting up a whey processing plant in the Netherlands to cater to the growing demand for children’s milk formula in China are just some of the major developments within the infant formula segment of the demineralized whey powder ingredient market.

Q. What is the outlook of the Asia Pacific demineralized whey powder ingredients market compared to the trajectory of the global market?
