Rising Lactose Intolerance Rates Fueling the Lactase Enzyme Surge

ROCKVILLE, MARYLAND, UNITED STATES, October 3, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The global lactase enzymes market share is expected to demonstrate steady growth, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4% projected from 2023 to 2033. Sales of lactase enzymes on a global scale are forecasted to rise from a market value of US$ 742 million in 2023 to reach US$ 1.1 billion by the conclusion of 2033.

One of the primary drivers behind this growth is the significant increase in the prevalence of lactose intolerance in recent years. This surge in lactose intolerance cases is expected to be the predominant factor fueling the consumption of lactase enzymes in the years to come. Moreover, this trend has led to a heightened demand for lactase enzyme supplements, available in various forms such as lactase capsules, lactase tablets, and lactose intolerance pills.

Lactase plays a central role in the realm of food and beverage applications, serving as a vital enzyme employed in dairy product processing to mitigate or eliminate lactose content, thus creating lactose-free alternatives. This enzymatic agent effectively dismantles lactose within dairy items, preventing the discomforting symptoms of diarrhea, pain, cramping, gas, and bloating. By affording those with lactose intolerance the opportunity to savor dairy products without adverse reactions, it enhances their gastronomic experience.

Several influential factors are poised to propel the demand for lactase. A growing preference for easily digestible foods, heightened health consciousness among consumers, and an upsurge in its inclusion in dietary supplements are anticipated to stimulate demand. Furthermore, the increased production and utilization of lactase tablets for bolstering health are expected to create lucrative prospects for lactase enzyme manufacturers in the coming decade.

Notably, the food and beverage sector remains a significant hub for lactase enzyme demand, primarily due to its widespread adoption for the mass production of lactose-free products. In 2020, the food and beverage segment commanded a substantial 46% share of the global lactase industry, and this figure is expected to experience continued growth during the forecast period, fueled by the escalating demand for processed food products free from lactose.
