Lactase Market Introduction and Overview
According to SPER Market Research, the Global Lactase Market is estimated to reach USD 403.58 million by 2034 with a CAGR of 5.33%.
The report includes an in-depth analysis of the Global Lactase Market, including market size and trends, product mix, Applications, and supplier analysis.
The global lactase market was valued at 240.11 USD million in 2024, and it is predicted to increase at a compound yearly growth rate (CAGR) of 5.33% between 2025 and 2034. Growing demand for lactose-free dairy products, as well as increased product development and innovation in other application areas, are projected to fuel market expansion. Lactase is primarily employed in the food and beverage industries, where it is mostly eaten as dairy enzymes to produce dairy products lactose-free by lowering and/or eliminating lactose content. The increasing prevalence of lactose intolerance around the world is one of the primary factors driving product demand.
By Source Insights: The yeast source segment had the largest share of global revenue in 2024. Lactose-fermenting yeasts, like Kluyveromyces marxianus and Guehomyces pullulans, are considered safe by the FDA. Thus, yeast-based lactase is commonly used in making food, beverages, and dietary supplements. Lactase is produced through the fermentation of yeasts, which breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose. This process lowers the freezing point and increases sweetness in dairy products. The rise in lactose-free options, such as milk powder, ice cream, and spreads, is expected to boost market growth.
By Application Insights: The food and beverage application segment led the market, accounting for the largest share of global revenue in 2024. Growing awareness of health and increasing cases of lactase non-persistence are expected to drive market growth. Higher consumption of high-quality foods with natural flavors is also contributing to this segment's growth. Lactase enzymes help break down lactose into smaller compounds. Dairy manufacturers are attracting more consumers by introducing new low-fat, low-sugar products rich in proteins, fibers, and vitamins. Awareness of digestive health issues is likely to increase the use of lactase-based dietary supplements. New delivery forms, like strength caplets and fast act chewables, aim to prevent lactose digestion problems such as gas and bloating, further boosting product demand.
By Form Insights: Powder-based lactase led the market and accounted for the majority of worldwide volume in 2024. Lactase powder is a non-toxic biological enzyme that meets the Food Chemical Codex (FCC) and Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) standards for food-grade compounds, allowing the product to be used in a variety of food and dietary supplement applications.
Regional Insights: Europe led the market in 2024 and had the largest share of global revenue. The high demand for dairy enzymes in Europe is due to its developed food and beverage processing industry. Key manufacturers like DSM and Chr. Hansen Holding A/S and technological advancements are driving growth in the region. Additionally, a favorable view towards health and nutrition has increased spending on lactase-based dietary supplements. The Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing market from 2025 to 2034 because of the rising importance of lactase enzymes. The development of the food and beverage sector and rapid industrialization, especially in China, India, and Vietnam, have created new opportunities in this region.
Market Competitive Landscape
The leading players in the lactase market are always innovating to introduce novel formulations of lactase from various sources using innovative procedures. Due to the growing population of lactose intolerant people, key manufacturing organisations are pursuing methods such as mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, and collaborations, among others, in order to expand production capacity and appeal to a larger audience. Brands must devise strategies to maintain their market dominance by prioritising sustainability, ethical sourcing, and lowering their carbon footprint.
Recent Developments:
- DSM-Firmenich, a major food ingredient manufacturer, will debut its highly regarded Maxilact® lactase enzyme line, Maxilact®Next, in June 2023. Maxilact®Next is about 25% faster than the previous fastest market standard used in milk processing, lowering hydrolysis time by 25% when dosed at the same amount.
- In May 2023, Creative Enzymes CO launched a new form of lactase to the market for lactose-free sugar-reduced dairy products, meeting the growing customer demand for lactose-free meals. It can be mixed with milk and beverages, yoghurt, and other organic dairy products.
