Coconut milk powder is a dehydrated form of coconut milk made from the liquid extracted from grated coconut meat. The process typically involves draining the milk's moisture to produce a fine, powdered product that maintains the fresh coconut milk's rich, creamy flavor and health advantages. In baking, cooking, and beverages, it is commonly used as a convenient alternative to canned or fresh coconut milk. Due to its versatility, coconut milk powder can be reconstituted with water to create liquid coconut milk or incorporated directly into recipes that demand for a creamy texture and tropical flavor.
Global Coconut Milk Powder Market Driving Factors and Challenges
Driving Factors- The growing popularity of veganism is a major factor in the demand for coconut milk powder since many vegans are looking for plant-based, healthier substitutes. Coconut milk powder is prized for its health benefits, including being lactose-free, cholesterol-free, and high in nutrients including MCTs, vitamins, and minerals. Millions of people worldwide are vegans, especially in nations like India. A further factor driving up demand for coconut milk powder is the rising popularity of Asian cuisine, where coconut milk is a main ingredient in soups and curries. In addition, the growing number of people who suffer from lactose intolerance has prompted a greater demand for dairy-free goods like coconut milk powder. New developments like flavored and fortified varieties help the market expand.
Challenges- The coconut milk powder industry has several challenges that hinder its growth and expansion. The high cost of raw materials is a major obstacle because diseases, pests, and weather can all have an impact on coconut output, which in turn affects availability and prices. Furthermore, the complex technological and quality control processes needed to turn coconut milk into powder could result in higher production costs. Another problem is competition from alternative plant-based milk powders, like oat or almond milk powder, which are growing in popularity due to changing consumer preferences for dairy-free products.
Impact of COVID-19 on Global Coconut Milk Powder Market
The COVID-19 pandemic had a major effect on the global market for coconut milk powder because it disrupted supply networks, manufacturing, and customer behavior. Raw material shortages and pricing increased as a result of transportation and industrial delays caused by the early lockdowns and restrictions. The pandemic also led to an increase in demand for plant-based and dairy-free products as consumers sought out alternative food options and grew more health aware. As a result of the pandemic's increased focus on online shopping, sales of coconut milk powder increased.
