Casein and Caseinate Market Report

The global casein and caseinate market is expected to show decent growth in the coming years. Casein and caseinate not only find application in food and beverage but also other lucrative industries because of their range of favorable properties and benefits. Casein protein powder offers greater strength, protection from enamel erosion, improved metabolic rate, and greater muscle gains. It is studied to be a slow digesting protein source and nighttime aid that helps with steady supply of protein to muscles over the course of several hours. Weightlifters or bodybuilders consume it to avoid nighttime muscle atrophy.

Casein is used as an emulsifier and skin and hair conditioning agent in the personal care and cosmetics industries. It is also adopted for nanoencapsulation and microencapsulation of biologically active agents, which include nutrients, nutraceuticals, probiotic cells, and pharmaceuticals.

Industrial Applications to Help Global Market with Quick Growth in Future

There is no doubt that casein and caseinate are largely demanded in the dairy industry because of their use as a beneficial ingredient and high source of protein. However, vendors need to pay a close attention to the fast-paced growth of the global casein and caseinate market because of industrialization. Casein and caseinate are used in industrial applications such as latex paints, water-based paints, and oils due to their great emulsifying, stabilizing, and binding properties. Increasing research on casein and caseinate and availability of new pharmaceutical and scientific applications are expected to augur well for the global market.

Vendors to Bank on Increasing Awareness of Milk Ingredients and Milk Proteins

Some of the leading vendors operating in the global casein and caseinate market are Nestlé S.A, Arla Foods, Danone, Fonterra, Saputo, Groupe Lactalis, Westland Milk Products, Armor Proteines, AMCO Proteins, and FrieslandCampina DMV. Investment in research and development, product innovation, and joint ventures are foretold to help players increase their market profitability and market presence. Players may also participate in or support programs related to awareness about nutritional benefits of milk proteins.

In June 2019, Milk Specialties Global, a US supplier of milk and whey protein ingredients for functional food, livestock, and other industries, partnered with the American Dairy Products Institute to support The Strong Inside campaign.

Better Solubility to Help Caseinate Attract More Demand in Food and Beverage

Both casein and caseinate find increased application in the food and beverage industry. However, caseinate is expected to gain slightly higher demand due to its greater solubility than casein. Cream or milk substitutes usually contain caseinate because of its role as a foam stabilizer and protein source. In meat products, calcium or sodium caseinate is used as a humectant or an emulsifier. Micellar casein is commonly consumed by bodybuilders because of its anti-catabolic or muscle-protecting properties. NutraBio, a US provider of nutrition supplements and products, offers a 100% slow digesting micellar casein protein supplement that allows steady, sustained release of amino acids in the blood.

By Region

North America to Benefit from Important Use of Casein in Sports Nutrition Products

Use of casein and caseinate is predicted to stay high in North America due to rising preference for protein-rich diets. The region witnesses high adoption of acid casein in industrial applications and increasing use of casein in sports nutrition products. High spending power of consumers could be another factor working in the favor of North America. Among developing regions, Asia Pacific is foreseen to build a fast-growing market for casein and caseinate because of high use of calcium and sodium caseinates. Increasing foreign investment in the dairy industry, especially from European companies, could also help with quick growth in the region.
